First you find 1 hour. 12 divided by 1.5 = 0.125

next multiply 16 x 0.125
16 miles = 2 hours

Answer:

It takes Sean 2 hours to travel 16 miles on his bike.

Explanation:

if we divide the amount of miles sean rides, by the total time it takes, we can see how many miles he can ride in 1 hour:

12/1.5=8 miles per hour

Therefore, if he is traveling 16 miles, we divide by the speed he travels per hour, which is 8:

16/8=2 hours

It takes Sean 2 hours to travel 16 miles on his bike.
