Question

two friends take a bicycle trip. Ricky rides 10 miles in 0.75 an hour. Victoria rides 15 miles in 1.25 hours. Which bicycle rider has the slower rate? Halp plwease :c

Answer 1

Victoria has a slower rate.

Explanation:

Given:

Number of miles ride by Ricky = 10 miles.

Number of hours required to ride 10 miles by ricky = 0.75 hour

Now we will find the rate at which Ricky is riding the bike.

Solution:

Now we know that;

Rate can be calculated by distance divided by time.

framing in equation form;

Rate at which Ricky is riding the bike =
`(10)/(0.75) = 13.33\ mi/hr`

Now Given:

Number of miles ride by Victoria = 15 miles.

Number of hours required to ride 15 miles by Victoria = 1.25 hour

Now we will find the rate at which Victoria is riding the bike.

Rate at which Victoria is riding the bike =
`(15)/(1.25)= 12\ mi/hr`

Comparing both bicycle rider rates of driving we can say that;

Victoria has a slower rate.
