Question

Francine can ride 16 miles on her bicycle in 45 minutes. At this speed, how many minutes would it take Francine to ride 60 miles?

Answer 1

168.75 minutes

Explanation:

Francine's speed (the unit rate) is (16 miles) / (45 minutes), or 16/45 miles/min.

Recalling that distance = speed times time, we recognize that

time = distance / speed

which here is

(60 miles) / (16/45) miles/min = 168.75 minutes, or 168 min 45 sec

Answer 2

2000 minutes on 16 miles
