Answer:

miles

Explanation:

We are given that a bicyclist travel 1 mile in 5 minutes.

We have to find that the expression
(m)/(5) what represents where m represent minutes

In 5 minutes a bicyclist travel distance =1 mile

In 1 minute a bicyclist travel distance=
(1)/(5) miles

In m minutes a bicyclist travel distance=
(1)/(5)* m

In m minutes a bicyclist travel distance=
(m)/(5) miles

Hence, the expression
(m)/(5) represent miles.
