Question

Ashley can ride her bicycle 15 miles in 2 hours. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour, and there are 1,760 yards in 1 mile. How many yards does Ashley travel?

Answer 1

Ashley can ride her bicycle 15 miles, which converts to 26,400 yards when multiplied by the conversion factor of 1,760 yards per mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of yards Ashley travels by bicycle, we need to use the information provided about the distance she rides and the conversion factors between miles and yards.

Ashley can ride her bicycle 15 miles in 2 hours. To find out how many yards she travels, we multiply the miles by the conversion factor from miles to yards.

• 1 mile = 1,760 yards

Now we calculate:

• 15 miles × 1,760 yards per mile = 26,400 yards

Therefore, Ashley travels a total of 26,400 yards on her bicycle.

Answer 2

speed is given by:
speed=distance/time
given that:
1 mile=1,760 yards
1 hour=60 min
then the speed in yards/sec will be:
distance Ashley covered is 15 miles
time=2 hours
thus;
speed=(15x1760)/(2x60)
=220 yards/ min
