Answer 1

The expression m/5 represents the number of miles the bicyclist traveled in 5 minutes 

Answer 2

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.
