A cyclist rides his bike at a rate of
15
miles per hour. What is this rate in miles per minute? How many miles will the cyclist travel in
5
minutes? Do not round your answers.

Answer 1

15 miles/hr (60 min).  So 15 divided by 60 = .25 (1/4 mile/min).  Multiply .25 mil x 5 min = 1.25 miles/5 min.

Answer 2

0.25 miles per minute

1.25 miles
