Question

Jasmine rides her bike 9 miles in 50 minutes. what is jasmines speed per hour

Answer 1

Given:

Given that Jasmine rides her bike 9 miles in 50 minutes.

We need to determine the speed per hour.

Time per hour:

The time taken is 50 minutes. We need to convert minutes into hours.

Thus, we have;

`(50)/(60)=(5)/(6) \ hr`

Thus, the time taken to cover 9 miles is
`(5)/(6) h r`

Speed:

The speed can be determined using the formula,

`Speed =(Distance)/(Time)`

Substituting the values, we have;

`Speed =(9)/(((5)/(6)))`

Simplifying, we get;

`Speed =9 * {(6)/(5)}`

`Speed =(54)/(5)`

`Speed = 10.8`

Thus, Jasmine's speed is 10.8 miles per hour.
