Final answer:

Without the total distance information, we can't determine the exact distance Elena traveled per minute. However, if she had traveled 1 mile in 10 minutes, then she would have traveled 0.1 mile per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is about determining the distance Elena traveled per minute on her bike ride. Without the total distance provided, the question cannot be answered directly. However, typical questions like this would require dividing the total distance by the number of minutes to find the distance per minute.

For example, if Elena rode 1 mile to the house in 10 minutes, we would use the formula:

  • Average speed = Total distance ÷ Total time
  • Distance per minute = 1 mile ÷ 10 minutes = 0.1 mile/minute

In this case, the correct answer would be (a) 0.1 mile per minute if Elena rode a total of 1 mile in 10 minutes.
