Question

Chloe rode her bicycle directly from her house to the library in 4 minutes. The library is 1 mile from her house.

What is Chloe’s speed in miles per hour? Show your work and explain your reasoning

Answer 1

speed = distance / time
speed = 1(mile) / 4 (minutes)
speed = 0.25 miles per minute
s = 0.25m <== ur equation

there are 60 minutes in an hr....so sub in 60 for m
s = 0.25(60)
s = 15 miles per hr <====

Answer 2

Speed = distance/time

The distance is 1 mile, and the she gets there in 4 minutes

1/4 = 0.25

There are 60 minutes in a hour, so multiply the two numbers

speed = 0.25 x 60

speed = 15

15 is your answer

hope this helps
