Luis rides his bicycle 34 mile in 15 minutes, or 14 hour, along the bike trail.

Assuming he rides at a constant rate, what is his speed, in miles per hour? Use the table to help find the answer.
Enter your answer in the box.

Miles 34 ?
Hours 14 ?

miles per hour needs to be a fraction

Answer 1

136 because 34 times 4 this is also considered a ratio

Answer 2

136/hour

Explanation:

15*4=60. we need to know this because we need to know by the hour not by the minute. so 34*4=136. they travel 136 miles per hour. in fraction form this is 136 miles/hour (this is also called a ratio). for 14 hours is a red herring (unneeded) unless you need to refer to this for many problems
