A cyclist averages 18.5 miles per hour. how many minutes will it take for him to complete a 125 kilometer race?

1 answer:

6 0

step 1
convert miles to km
1 mile is-----> 1.60934 km
18.5 miles/hour-----> 18.5*1.60934=29.77 km/hour

step 2
convert km/hour to km/minutes
29.77 km/hour--------> 29.77/60----> 0.4962 km/minutes

step 3
by proportion
0.4962 km/1 minutes=125 km/x minutes
0.4962 km----------> 1 minute
125 km-------------> x

x=125/0.4962----> x=251.91 minutes---------> x=251.9 minutes

the answer is
251.9 minutes

Alternative Method

step 1
convert km to miles
1 km is-----> 0.621371 miles
125 km-----> 125*0.621371--->77.67 miles

step 2
convert miles/hour to miles/minutes
18.5 km/hour--------> 18.5/60----> 0.3083 miles/minutes

step 3
by proportion
0.3083 miles/1 minutes=77.67 miles/x minutes
0.3083 miles----------> 1 minute
77.67 miles-------------> x

x=77.67/0.3083----> x=251.9 minutes

Step 3: Displaying numerical data in dot plots, and describing and analyzing the data.

Answer:The mode if 5, because 5 occurs 8 times, which is more than any other numbers occurring more than once. The median is 6, and this is because when you line up the numbers in order and cross them off to find the middle number, it is 6. I rounded to the mean to about 6.4. I got this by adding all of the numbers up, or by doing 12 + 40 +18 +7, etc, and got the total of 165. Because there is a total of 26 data points, I divided those numbers and got 6.3461, which ends up rounding to 6.4.
