Answer:

2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

using the relationship

distance = speed × time, then

time = $\frac{distance}{speed}$ = $\frac{30}{15}$ = 2 hours

2 hours because in one hour the cyclist biked 15 miles. That means you could follow the formula 30=15x where 30 is the total distance traveled and x=the number of hours cycled.
(You could solve it two ways)
1. Division:
30=15x ⬅️divide each side by 15
2=x ⬅️ 15 cancels out and you’re left with x=2

2. Multiplication: (you can use to check answer also)
30=15x; x=2
30=15(2) ⬅️ plug in 2
30=30 ✅
