Question

A bicycle courier can cycle at a speed of 15 miles per hour. If the courier must travel a distance of 0.25 miles between stops, how many minutes will it take him?

Answer 1

The courier will take 1 minute to travel 0.25 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how many minutes it will take for the courier to travel 0.25 miles, we can use the formula:

Time = Distance / Speed

Given that the speed of the courier is 15 miles per hour and the distance is 0.25 miles, we can substitute these values into the formula:

Time = 0.25 miles / 15 miles per hour

Converting 15 miles per hour to miles per minute:

15 miles per hour = 15 miles / 60 minutes = 0.25 miles per minute

Now we can calculate the time it will take:

Time = 0.25 miles / 0.25 miles per minute = 1 minute

Answer 2

1 minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of cycle = 15 miles per hour

Distance between stops = 0.25 miles

we will use formula for speed distance and time, where time is given by

time = distance / speed.

Plugging in the value of distance and speed, we have

time = 0.25/15 hours .

Since we need answer in minutes

1 hour has 60 minutes

hence,

time in minutes = ( 0.25/15) * 60 minutes = 1 minute

It will take 1 minute to travel between two stops having distance 0.25 miles.
