Question

Lucy rides her bike at a constant speed of 12 km/h. How far can she travel in 235 minutes?

Answer 1

47 km

Explanation:

• Lucy's constant speed = 12 km/h.

,

• Time taken = 235 minutes

First, recall the formula below:

`Distance=Speed* Time`

Next, note that the speed is given in km/hr, so we convert the given time to hours:

`235\text{ minutes}=(235)/(60)\text{ hours}`

Therefore:

`Distance=12*(235)/(60)=47\text{ km}`

She can travel 47 km in 235 minutes.
