Question

If a person bikes 3.2 miles in 10 minutes how far can he bike in 2.5

Answer 1

Answer: 0.8 miles

Explanation:

Let the distance in miles for 2.5 minutes be A

10 minutes -> 3.2 miles

2.5 minutes -> A miles

Using proportion,

2.5 / 10 = A / 3.2

1 / 4 = A / 3.2

Hence,
A = 3.2 / 4 = 0.8
