Question

Jasmine rides her bike 9 miles in 50 minutes. what is jasmines speed per hour

Answer 1

Given:

Given that Jasmine rides her bike 9 miles in 50 minutes.

We need to determine the speed per hour.

Time per hour:

The time taken is 50 minutes. We need to convert minutes into hours.

Thus, we have;

$\frac{50}{60}=\frac{5}{6} \ hr$

Thus, the time taken to cover 9 miles is $\frac{5}{6} h r$

Speed:

The speed can be determined using the formula,

$Speed =\frac{Distance}{Time}$

Substituting the values, we have;

$Speed =\frac{9}{(\frac{5}{6})}$

Simplifying, we get;

$Speed =9 \times {\frac{6}{5}}$

$Speed =\frac{54}{5}$

$Speed = 10.8$

Thus, Jasmine's speed is 10.8 miles per hour.
