Question

Answer 1

20 miles

Explanation:

We are given that

Person traveled total distance by bike=2 1/2 miles

Person traveled total distance by bike==
`2+(1)/(2)=2.5miles`

Time taken by person ,t=1/8 hour

We have to find the distance traveled by person bike in an hour.

We know that

Rate==
`(Distance)/(time)`

Using the formula

Rate=
`(2.5)/((1)/(8))`miles/hr

Rate=20mph

In 1 hour person bike traveled distance=20 miles
