Question

Lincoln rode his bike 16 miles in 104 minutes. If he rode at a constant speed how far did he ride in 10 minutes

Answer 1

Use cross multiplication to solve:

`(104)/(10) =(16)/(x)\\ \\10*16=160\\104x=160\\\\x=160/104\\x=(20)/(13)`

So, he rode
`(20)/(13)` miles in 10 minutes (approximately 1.54mi).
