Answer 1

Diego's bike speed is 8 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find Diego's bike speed, we need to calculate the distance he travels in one hour. Since it takes Diego 1/24 of an hour to complete a lap on the circular bike track, he can complete 24 laps in one hour.

Given that the track is 1/3 mile long, we can multiply the number of laps (24) by the distance of one lap (1/3 mile) to find the total distance traveled in one hour:

Total distance = 24 laps x 1/3 mile per lap = 8 miles per hour

Answer 2

C. 8 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

1/24th of an hour is 2.5 minutes, taking Diego 2.5 minutes to ride 1/3rd of a mile

2.5 x 3 (to signify how long it would take Diego to ride a mile) = 7.5 minutes

60 divided by 7.5 = 8

Therefore, Diego's speed in MPH is 8.
