Answer:

It took Albert 2 1/2 hours to ride to the park

Explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Speed of Albert to the park = 12 mph

Speed of Albert back home = 20 mph

Total time of the round trip = 4 hours

Distance each way = 30 miles

2. How long did the ride to the park take?

Let's recall that the formula of speed is:

Speed = Distance/Time, therefore Time = Distance/Speed

Time it took Albert to ride to the park = 30/12

Time it took Albert to ride to the park = 5/2 = 2 1/2 hours

Time it took Albert to ride back home = 30/20

Time it took Albert to ride back home = 3/2 = 1 1/2 hours

It took Albert 2 1/2 hours to ride to the park
