Question

a person bikes 2 1/2 miles at a constant rate in 1/8 of an hour what distance , does the person bikes in an hour.​

Answer 1

Answer:

20 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Person traveled total distance by bike=2 1/2 miles

Person traveled total distance by bike==$2+\frac{1}{2}=2.5miles$

Time taken by person ,t=1/8 hour

We have to find the distance traveled by person bike in an hour.

We know that

Rate==$\frac{Distance}{time}$

Using the formula

Rate=$\frac{2.5}{\frac{1}{8}}$miles/hr

Rate=20mph

In 1 hour person bike traveled distance=20 miles
