About 1.6 miles.
You divide the 4 by 30 to get the distance per minute and multiply it by 12.

Answer:

1.6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>If Amy can ride 4 miles in 30 minutes, to get her distance in 1 minute, we need to divide 4 miles by 30:</u>

$\frac{4}{30}=\frac{2}{15}$ miles per minute

<em>Hence, in 12 minutes, she can ride 12 times that:</em>

$\frac{2}{15}*12=\frac{8}{5}=1.6$ miles
