bicyclist rides 14 miles in 112 minutes. If she continues at this speed, how long will it take her to travel 35 miles?

So if we subtract 14 from 35 we get 21. and if you convert 112 minutes into hours we get 1 hour and 52 minutes, so if we were to convert it into mph we would get 7 because its half of 14 and it took her 2 hours to reach that amount.
So now we just multiply until we reach 35.

7*5=35

So your answer would be around 5 hours.

If they are taking 112 minutes to get 14 miles you can divide 14 by 112 to get 8. You then multiply 8 by 35 to get the number of minutes which would get the final answer 280
