Question

Priya's neighbor has a dirt bike that can go 360 in 15 seconds at this rate how long would it take them to ride 3000

Answer 1

125 seconds

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the help of two methods

We can set up this question as a ratio problem:

360 meters__________15 seconds

3000 meters_________x seconds

`x=(3000*15)/(360)=125`

We can also solve it as a rate problem and still yield the same answer:

`(360)/(15)=(3000)/(x)`

x=125
