Question

If Lynn rode a bike at a constant speed, and rode 20 miles in 150 minutes, how long did it take her to ride 6 miles?

Answer 1

It will take Lynn 4 minutes and 50 seconds to ride 6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Lynn rode at a constant speed, and

20 miles = 15 minutes

Let x represent the amount of time it will take her to ride 6 miles, then we have the equation:

20x = 15 * 6

20x = 90

x = 90/20

= 9/2

= 4.5

4.5 minutes is 4 minutes and 50 seconds
