Question

A cyclist rides his bike at a rate of 5 kilometers per hour.what is this rate in

miles per hour? how many miles will the cyclist travel in 5 hours? in your
computations assume that 1 mile is equal to 1.6 kiolmeters. Do not round your
answers

Answer 1

rate is 8 miles per hour and he travels 40 miles per 5 hours

Explanation:

The story problem told that i should assume that 1 mile is 1.6 km

so 5km/hr is equal to 8m/h

i got it by multiplying 5 by 1.6 so i can change from the unit km to mile

so about the miles per 5 hours just multiply the 8 mph by 5 so it is 40

40miles per 5hrs

hope i made it clear
