Question

Clare is cycling at a speed of 12 miles per hour. If she starts at a position chosen as zero, what will her position be after 45 minutes?

Answer 1

45 minutes is 3/4 of an hour, so find 3/4 of 12.
Divide 12 by 4 to get 1/4 of 12. That is 3.
3/4 is 3 of those, so multiply it by 3 to get 9.
So, she will have biked 9 miles.
Hope this helps!

Answer 2

After 45 minutes Clare will be at 9 miles.

Explanation:

Clare is cycling at a speed of 12 miles per hour.

Her starting position is at zero.

With the same speed distance traveled in 45 minutes or
`(45)/(60)` hours will be = Speed × Time

= 12 ×
`(45)/(60)`

=
`(45)/(5)`

= 9 miles

Therefore, after 45 minutes Clare will be at 9 miles.
