Question

A cyclist travels 12 miles in 45 minutes.
What is his average speed in mph?

Answer 1

Answer: 16 mph

Step-by-step explanation: To get speed in mph.

Divide the miles by the time. First we can change minutes to hours.

45/60 = 3/4 hour

12 divided by 3/4 hour is 12 ÷ 3/4

Invert the denominator and multiply:

12 × 4/3

16 mph

Answer 2

Pretty sure it is 16 mph
