Maya uses an app on her phone to track how far she rides her bike. Yesterday, she biked a new trail in a total of 48.5 minutes, including a 2-minute water break. The app notified Maya that she rode 7.5 miles.
write an equation Maya can use to find x, her average number of minutes per mile while biking?

Answer 1

Maya can use the equation x = 48.5 / 7.5 to find her average number of minutes per mile while biking.

Step-by-step explanation:

Maya can use the equation x = 48.5 / 7.5 to find her average number of minutes per mile while biking.

First, we need to subtract the 2-minute water break from the total time Maya rode her bike. This leaves us with 46.5 minutes of actual biking time.

Next, we divide the biking time (46.5 minutes) by the distance she rode (7.5 miles). The result is her average number of minutes per mile, which is approximately 6.2 minutes per mile.
