Answer:
17,500 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed of Austin's bike = 350 ft per minute
Given 3 feet in 1 yard
Now converting speed from ft/min to yard per minute
3 feet equal 1 yard (dividing both side by 3)
1 feet equals 1/3 yards
350 ft equals 350*1/3 yards
350 ft equals 350/3 yards
speed of bike in yards per minute = 350/3 yards per minute
______________________________________
Time for which bike traveled = 2.5 hour
one hour has 60 minutes
2.5 hour has 60*2.5 minutes
2.5 hour has 150 minutes
Time for which bike traveled in minutes = 150 minutes
________________________________________
formula for distance = speed * time
substituting value of speed and time in above equation we have
distance = 350/3 * 150 = 17,500 yards
Distance traveled by Austin's bike in 2.5 hours is 17,500 yards.
