Question

Tommy can ride his bicycle 4.5 miles in 15 minutes. How many miles can he ride in 75 minutes

Answer 1

Tommy can ride 22.5 In 75 minutes

Answer 2

Here, we need to set up a proportion.

4.5 miles in 15 minutes.

In 75 minutes, how much miles can he ride?

4.5/15 = x/75

Cross multiply

4.5 * 75 = 337.5
15*x = 15x

15x = 337.5

15x/15 = 337.5/15
x= 22.5

Final answer:- Tommy can ride 22.5 miles in 75 minutes.
