Question

Suppose you ride your bicycle to the library traveling at .50 km/min. It takes you 25minutes to get to the library. How far did you travel

Answer 1

12.5km

Explanation:

Hey! Let's help you with your question here!

We can begin by figuring out what we know!

Known Information

• Bicycle traveling at .50km/min (0.50km/min)
• It takes 25 minutes to get to the library.

What we don't know and solving for it

What we don't know is the distance traveled based on the given time. Now, what do we do? Well, we already know that the bicycle is traveling at a distance of .50km per minute and it takes us 25 minutes to get to the library. All we need to do here is take the distance per minute and multiply it by the total amount of minutes it takes to reach the destination. It would look something like this:

`=(0.50km/s)*25`

`=0.50*25`

`=12.5`

Therefore, we can see that if we travel at a distance of .50km/min for 25 total minutes, we get a final distance of 12.5km.

Answer 2

50km

Explanation:

We know that every minute we travel .5 km....

`(1 min)/(.50 km)`

But we want to know how far we traveled in 25 mins

`(25 mins)/(? km)`

So we go and do....

`(1 min)/(.50 km) * (25 mins)/(? km)`

Then we have to divide 25 by .50

`(25 mins)/(.50 km)`

Which Gives us

50 so he traveled 50km
