Question

A bicyclist rides 14 miles in 112 minutes. If she continues at this speed, how long will it take her to travel 35 miles? Answer quick hurry

Answer 1

it will take her 280 minutes to travel 35 miles

Explanation:

miles per hour = miles / hours

or in this case, miles / minutes

`(14 miles)/(112 minutes)`

divide both the top and bottom by 112

`(0.125 miles)/(1 minute)`

= 0.125 miles per minute

35 miles

`35 / 0.125` = 280

280 minutes

Answer 2

280 minutes

Explanation:

The new distance travelled is 2.5 times larger than the previous (35/14 = 2.5), therefore, the new time needed to be travelled would also be 2.5 times larger than the original time taken.

`112 * 2.5 = 280`
