At the rate given, how many kilometers can Mikaela bike in 1 hour?

If Mikaela runs for 1 hour and bikes for 1 hour at the rates given, how far will she travel

Answer 1

Mikaela run 10 km in 1hour

Mikaela bikes 25km in 1hour

35km If Mikaela runs for 1 hour and bikes for 1 hour at the rates given

Explanation:

Let's solve how many km Mikaela runs in 1 hour.

0.5 hour = 30 minutes

5km = 30 minutes

10km = 60 minute

Let's solve how many km Mikaela bikes in 1 hour.

0.8 hour = 48 minutes

20km = 48 minutes

To get from 48 minutes to 60 minutes, we times 1.25. So, we take 20 times 1.25 = 25km

So, Mikaela bikes 25km in 1 hour.

Let's solve how far she traveled If Mikaela runs for 1 hour and bikes for 1 hour at the rates given

10km+ 25km = 35km
