Lin rode a bike 20 miles in 150 minutes. If she rode at a constant speed, how far did she ride in 15 minutes? How long did it ta
ke her to ride 6 miles? How fast did she ride in miles per hour?
1 answer:
Hey there! :)
Answer:
First part: 2 miles.
Second part: 45 minutes
Third part: 8 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can divide this question into 3 parts.
Begin by solving for the distance traveled after 15 minutes by creating a ratio:

Cross multiply:
20 · 15 = 150 · x
300 = 150x
300/150 = 150x/150
x = 2 miles.
2nd part: How long it took her to ride 6 miles.
Set up another ratio similar to the one used before:

Cross multiply:
20 · x = 6 · 150
20x = 900
20x/20 = 900/20
x = 45 minutes.
3rd part:
For this part, we will need to convert from minutes to hours.

Therefore, her speed is 8 mph.

Add 9+9+9+9+30 and that equals 66.
It’s 10. This is because 27/3 is 9 so the ratio is by 9
Answer:
y = 6x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
slope intercept form is y = mx + b
m = slope
b = y-intercept
They give us the slope (m) which is 6 and the y-intercept (b) which is -2. PLug it into the equation
y = mx + b
y = 6x - 2
