Question

Nina can ride her bike 63,360 feet in 3,400 seconds, and Sophia can ride her bike 10 miles in 1 hour . What is Nina’s rate miles per hour if there are 5,280 feet in a mile?

Which girl bikes faster?

Answer 1

Nina's rate in miles per hour is 2.7 miles/hour

Nina bikes faster

Explanation:

we know that

1 hour=3,600 seconds

1 mile=5,280 feet

Convert feet to miles

63,360 feet=63,360/5,280=12 miles

Convert seconds to hours

3,400 sec=3,400/3,600=0.94 hours

Find Nina's rate in miles per hour

12/0.94=12.7 miles/hour

Sophia's rate in miles per hour is 10 miles/hour

Compare the rates

12.7 miles/hour > 10 miles/hour

therefore

Nina bikes faster
