Question

Lynn rode a bike 20 miles in 150 minutes. If she rode at a constant speed, how far did she ride in 15 minutes? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

2 miles

Explanation:

We are told that Lynn covered 20 miles in 150 minutes. Meaning

`(20\: mi)/(150\min )`
`=(2mi)/(15\min )`

the reduced form of the fraction tells us that Lynn drives 2 miles in 15 minutes.
