Answer:

324 minutes

or

5 hours 24 minutes

Explanation:

Given:

A bicyclist rides 16 miles in 144 minutes.

Distance = speed * time

16 miles = speed*144

speed = 16/144

Now we have to find the time take to travel 36 miles.

36 = speed * time

36 = 16/144 * time

Time = (36 *144)/16

Time = 5184/16

Time = 324 minutes

Answer: 324 minutes or 5 hours 24 minutes

Thank you.
