Lorenzo rides his bike at a rate 5 yards per second. About how many miles per hour can Lorenzo ride his bike? ( HINT: 1 mike = 1,760 yards )

Answer 1

About 10. He would go 5 yads per second × 60 to get 300 yards per minute. ×60 to get 18000 yard per hour. Than you divide 18000 by 1760 to get about 10

Answer 2

10.227 miles/hour

Explanation:

Lorenzo rides his bike at a rate 5 yards per second.

There are 3600 seconds in 1 hour.

Since Lorenzo rode his bike in 1 second = 5 yards

Therefore, Lorenzo rode his bike in 1 hour = 3600 × 5

= 18,000 yards/hour

Since 1 mile = 1,760 yards

Hence 18,000 yards =
`(18000)/(1760)`

= 10.227 miles

Lorenzo rode his bike at 10.227 miles/hour.
