Question

Mark cycled 25 miles at a rate of 10 minutes per hour. How long dis it take Mark to cycle 25 miles

Answer 1

2.5 hours.

Explanation:

We have been given that Mark cycled 25 miles at a rate of 10 miles per hour.

To find how many hours Mark took to cycle 25 miles we will divide 25 by 10.

`\text{Time taken by Mark to cycle 25 miles}= \frac{25\text{ miles}}{10(miles)/(hour)}`

`\text{Time taken by Mark to cycle 25 miles}=\frac{25\text{ miles}}{10}* \frac{\text{hour}}{\text{miles}}`

Upon cancelling out miles from numerator and denominator we will get,

`\text{Time taken by Mark to cycle 25 miles}=(25)/(10) \text{ hour}`

`\text{Time taken by Mark to cycle 25 miles}=2.5\text{ hour}`

Therefore, Mike will take 2.5 hours to cycle 25 miles.
