Question

If you ride your bike 12 miles per hour, how long would it take
you to travel 72 miles ?

Answer 1

It would take 6 hours for you to travel 72 miles.

Explanation:

This question can be solved by a simple rule of three.

We have that:

Each hour, you ride 12 miles.

How many hours will take for you to travel 72 miles?

So:

1 hour - 12 miles

x hours - 72 miles

12x = 72

x = 72/12

x = 6

It would take 6 hours for you to travel 72 miles.
