Question

A cyclist rides his bike at 12 miles per hour. What is this speed per minute? How many miles will the cyclist travel in 20 minutes? Do not round you answers. Help thx

Answer 1

Answer:

In order to find the distance traveled in one minute, you have to divide the distance he can ride his bike in an hour by the number of minutes in a hour. 6/60= .1 mile per minute. If he rides his bike for five minutes, then you would multiply the number of minutes biked by the distance traveled in a minute. .1*5=.5 mile, or $\frac{1}{2}$ mile.
