Question

Answer 1

Answer:

option B is correct

4 hours will it take him to finish a 60-mile bicycle race.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula:

$\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$     ......[1]

As per the statement:

Andy can maintain a speed of 15 miles per hour on his bicycle.

⇒Speed = 15 miles per hour.

We have to find how long will it take him to finish a 60-mile bicycle race.

⇒Distance = 60 mile

Substitute the given values in [1]  we have;

$\text{Time} = \frac{60}{15}$

⇒$\text{Time}= 4$ hours.

Therefore, 4 hours will it take him to finish a 60-mile bicycle race.

Answer 2

4 hours 60/15 = 4. :)
