Question

Kyle rides his bike 6 miles in 30 minutes. Assuming he rides at a steady speed, write a proportion that could be used to determine how long it would take him to ride his bike 15 miles.

Answer 1

it would take him 75 minutes to ride 15 miles.

Explanation:

If it takes 30 minutes to ride 5 miles, that means he is riding at a steady pace of 6 mph (30/5=6), therefore if he rides at that same pace, it will take him 75 minutes to ride 15 miles (6*15=75).

Answer 2

It will take 75 minutes because for one mile it would me 5 minutes 6/30 so 15 miles times 5 would be 75
