Question

Karl rides his bicycle 120 feet in 10 seconds. How many feet does he ride in 1 minute?

Answer 1

Answer: 720 feet

Explanation:

Given: Karl rides his bicycle 120 feet in 10 seconds.

Thus, In 10 seconds, the distance traveled by Karl = 120 feet

Thus, In 1 second, the distance traveled by Karl =
`(120)/(10)=12\ feet`

Since, we know that 1 minute= 60 seconds

Now, the distance traveled by Karl in 60 seconds =
`12*60=720\ feet`

Hence, the distance traveled by Karl in 1 minute = 720 feet

Answer 2

To find this answer you have to first figure out the average speed of Karl. Karl's average speed is 120 feet/10 sec = 12 feet/sec. Next, we know that 1 minute is 60 sec, so you multiply 12 feet/sec by 60 sec to get the amount of feet traveled in 1 minute. The answer is: 12 ft/sec x 60 sec = 720 feet.
