Answer:

the distance cycled by Kayden in one hour is (y/15) km, in terms of y.

Explanation:

If Kayden cycles 4 km in y minutes, we need to first convert y minutes to hours.

There are 60 minutes in an hour, so there are 60/y hours in y minutes.

Therefore, Kayden cycles at a speed of 4 km/(60/y) hours = (4y)/60 km/hour.

To find the distance cycled by Kayden in one hour, we can simply multiply this speed by 1 hour:

Distance = speed × time = ((4y)/60) × 1 = (4y)/60 km.

Simplifying, we get:

Distance = (2y)/30 km = (y/15) km.

Therefore, the distance cycled by Kayden in one hour is (y/15) km, in terms of y.
