Answer 1

15km per hour maybe..........

Answer 2

The average speed of the bicycle is 8.34 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that, a bicycle travels 15 km in 30 minutes. W know that,

1 km = 1000 m

15 km = 15000 m

And

1 minute = 60 seconds

30 minutes = 1800 seconds

The total distance covered divided by total time taken is called average speed of a bicycle. Mathematically, it is given by :

`v=(d)/(t)\\\\v=(15000\ m)/(1800\ s)\\\\v=8.34\ m/s`

Therefore, the average speed of the bicycle is 8.34 m/s.
