Answer:

Mrs.Storz can ride her bike 800 meters in 2 minutes.

Explanation:

So first we have to find the unit rate of this problem. We can do that by dividing. 6000 divided by 15 is 400. So the unit rate is 1 minute / 400 meters.

Now we multiply 400 by 2 and we get 800.

if you want to check ur answer, divide 6000 by 800. You get 7.5. Divided 15 by 2, you get 7.5 That proves they are equivalent.

So Mrs.Storz can ride her bike 800 meters in 2 minutes.

hope i helped :D
