Question

What is the speed of a cyclist that rides west 88 km in 32 minutes?

Answer 1

The speed of the cyclist is 2.75 km/min.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

• The distance d = 88 km

• Time t = 32 minutes

To determine

We need to find the speed of a cyclist.

In order to determine the speed of a cyclist, all we need to do is to divide the distance covered by a cyclist by the time taken to cover the distance.

Using the formula involving speed, time, and distance

`s=(d)/(t)`

where

• s = speed

• d = distance covered

• t = time taken

substitute d = 88, and t = 32 in the formula

`s=(d)/(t)`

`s=(88)/(32)`

Cancel the common factor 8

`s=(11)/(4)`

`s=2.75` km/min

Therefore, the speed of the cyclist is 2.75 km/min.
