Question

On a bicycle, Miranda rides for 4 hours and is 50 miles from her house. After riding for 6 hours, she is 74 miles away. What is Miranda's rate?

Answer 1

Miranda's rate is 12 hours per mies.

Explanation:

Given by question,

Miranda began her ride from home merely that she was 50 miles away from home after 4 hours of riding.

To find, Miranda's rate = ?

2 hours later she was 974 miles from home.

∴ 2 hours she rode = 74 miles - 50 miles

Miranda rides 24 miles in 2 hours.

∴ Miranda rides in 1 hour =
`(24)/(2)`
`(miles)/(hour)`

=
`12`
`(miles)/(hour)`

Thus, Miranda's rate is 12 hours per mies.
