Answer:
100 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we can make a proportion.
The bike travels 5 miles in 20 minutes, and 25 miles in x minutes
5/20=25/x
Cross multiply
5*x=20*25
5x=500
Divide both sides by 5. This will cancel out the 5, and leave x by itself.
5x/5=500/5
x=100
There are 60 minutes in 1 hour. If we subtract 60 from 100,
100-60=40
So, this is also equivalent to 1 hour and 40 minutes.
It takes 100 minutes, or 1 hour and 40 minutes, to travel 25 miles.
