Question

A cyclist rides hous bike at a speed of 6 miles per hour. What is the speed in miles per minute? How many miles will thethree cyclist trebek in 10 minutes?

Answer 1

Speed of cyclist was 0.1 miles/min.

The cyclist has traveled 1 miles in 10 minutes.

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of cyclist = 6 mi/hr

We need to find speed in miles per minute.

Also we need to find the distance traveled by cyclist in 10 minutes.

Solution:

Now we know that;

1 hour = 60 minutes.

So to find the speed in miles per minute we will divide the speed by 60.

so we get;

Speed of cyclist =
`(6)/(60) = 0.1\ mi/min`

Hence Speed of cyclist was 0.1 miles/min.

Now we will find the distance traveled by cyclist in 10 mins.

Time = 10 minutes.

Speed = 0.1 miles/min

Distance traveled is given by Speed multiplied by Time.

framing in equation form we get;

Distance traveled by cyclist =
`0.1* 10 = 1\ miles`

Hence The cyclist has traveled 1 miles in 10 minutes.

Answer 2

The speed of cyclist is 0.1 mile per minute.

And the cyclist will trek 1 mile in 10 minutes.

Explanation:

Given:

A cyclist rides his bike at a speed of 6 miles per hour.

Now, to get the speed of cyclist in miles per minute. And miles the cyclist trek in 10 minutes.

As, 1 hour = 60 minutes.

Now, to solve by using unitary method:

If, in 60 minutes cyclist rides 6 miles.

Then, in 1 minute cyclist rides =
`(6)/(60)=0.1\ mile.`

So, in 10 minutes the cyclist trek =
`0.1 * 10=1\ mile.`

Therefore, the speed is 0.1 mile per minute.

And the cyclist will trek 1 mile in 10 minutes.
