If a person bikes 2.4 miles in 10 minutes, how far can he bike in 1.5 hours?

Start by calculating how many minutes is 1.5 hours.
Then, you need to do a proportion.

(2.4 miles)/(10 minutes) = (?)/(1.5 hours in minutes)


If you still can't do it, just comment and I'll explain more :)

1.5 hours = 90 minutes
2.4 x 9= 21.6 miles
