Question

Rico bicycles at an average speed of 15.5 miles per hour. What distance will Rico bicycle in 180 minutes?

Answer 1

46.5 miles

Explanation:

Average speed × Time in hours = Distance

Average speed = 15.5 Miles per hour

Time = 180 minutes

We convert to hours

60 minutes = 1 hour

180 minutes = x

Cross Multiply

60x = 180

x = 180/60

x = 3 hours

Distance = 15.5 miles per hour × 3 hours

Distance = 46.5 miles

The distance Rico will ride his bicycle is 46.5 miles
