Answer:

2 and a half hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Nancy rides her bike at 10 miles per hour. After the first hour, she would have ridden 10 miles. After the second hour, she would hvae ridden 20 miles. She needs to ride 5 more miles, which is half of her 10 miles that she rides every hour. Since it is half of her speed of miles per hour, it will take her another half an hour to ride the 5 miles. Added together, Nancy takes 2 and a half hours.
