Question

Tamara rode her bicycle 8 miles in 0.5

hours. What was the average rate that
she rode her bicycle in miles per hour?

pls give me the step by step

Answer 1

16 miles per hour (mph)

Explanation:

Okay, so the beginning of the question states that Tamara rode her bicycle 8 miles in 0.5 hours.

0.5 is equivalent to 1/2 (one-half).

This means that she rode 8 miles in just half of an hour (30 minutes).

If she continues at this rate, she will have rode another 8 miles in the next 30 minutes.

And, 8 + 8 = 16.

Therefore, the average rate that she rode her bicycle is 16 miles per hour (mph).

Let me know if you have any questions.
