Question

Luis rides his bicycle 3/4 mile in 5 minutes, or 1/12 hour, along the bike trail. Assuming he rides at a constant rate, what is his speed, in miles per hour?

Answer 1

It was 1 hour and 9 miles

Answer 2

Miles per hour = 9 miles in 1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Total miles rode buy Luis = 3/4 miles

Time Luis for riding = 5 minutes or 1/12 hours

Miles per hour = ?

Solution:

If he ride at a constant speed than:

Miles per hour = Total miles rode buy Luis/Time

By putting values in above equation:

Miles per hour = 3/4 ÷ 1/12

= 9 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

As we have to get the rate in per hours so we take the time 1/12 hours.

So from the data, Luis ride miles per hour is equal to 9 miles.

For this we divide Total distance by the total time taken by Luis.
