Question

How long did it take a bike to travel 20 miles at 12 mph

Answer 1

Answer: 4 miles

Explanation:

Riding the bike 12 mph (miles per hour) for one hour, we would ride the bike 12 miles. Since 20 minutes is 1/3 of a hour, divide 12 by 3 to find out how far the biker traveled in 1/3 of the time: 4 miles Hope this helps

Answer 2

Hello!

`\large\boxed{(5)/(3)\text{ hours} \text{ or }100 \text{ min}}`

Use the equation d = s · t where:

s = speed

t = time

d = distance

Plug in the given distance and speed:

20 = 12 ·t

Divide both side by 12 to isolate for t:

20/12 = t

Simplify:

5 / 3 = t

Therefore, it took 5/3 hours to bike. We can convert this to minutes if necessary:

5/3 · 60 min (in one hour) = (60 · 5) / 3 = 100 min.
