Question

I need help. I have been searching for the answer but I cannot find the correct one. Elena rode her bike 2 miles in 10 minutes and 1 mile in 5. How many miles if it only took her 1 minute? Like how many miles would she have rode in 1 minute?

Answer 1

0.2 miles

Explanation:

From the above question:

2 miles = 10 minutes

Hence:

10 minutes = 2 miles

1 minute = x miles

Cross Multiply

10 minutes × x miles = 2 miles × 1 minute

x miles = 2 miles × 1 minute/10 minutes

x miles = 0.2 mile

Hence in 1 minute it would take her 0.2 miles
