Answer 2

option B is correct

4 hours will it take him to finish a 60-mile bicycle race.

Explanation:

Using the formula:

`\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}` ......[1]

As per the statement:

Andy can maintain a speed of 15 miles per hour on his bicycle.

⇒Speed = 15 miles per hour.

We have to find how long will it take him to finish a 60-mile bicycle race.

⇒Distance = 60 mile

Substitute the given values in [1] we have;

`\text{Time} = (60)/(15)`

⇒
`\text{Time}= 4` hours.

Therefore, 4 hours will it take him to finish a 60-mile bicycle race.
