Question

A cyclist rode 3.75 miles in 0.3 hours.

How fast was she going in miles per hour?



Round your answer to the tenths (first) decimal place.



Do not include units (miles per hour) in your answer.

Answer 1

Distance covered by cyclist=3.75 miles.

Time =0.3 hours.

Speed= Distance ÷Time

Speed =3.75÷0.3=12.5 miles per hour.

2) Speed = 12.5 miles per hour, Distance = 4.5 miles .

Time = Distance ÷Speed.

Time = 4.5÷12.5=0.36 hours.

Time taken to cover 4.5 miles is 0.36 hours.
