A cyclist rides his bike at a speed of 24miles per hour what is this speed in miles per minute how many miles will the cyclist travel in 5minutes ?

Respuesta :

If the speed of the cyclist is 24 miles/hour

In miles per minutes, 60 minutes = 1 hour

To convert into miles per minutes,

[tex]\text{Speed in miles per mins=}\frac{24}{60}=0.4\text{ miles/min}[/tex]

Speed in miles/min is 0.4 miles/min

If the cyclist travels for 5 minutes, distance travelled in miles will be,

[tex]\begin{gathered} dis\tan ce=\text{speed}\times\text{time} \\ \text{Where sp}eed=0.4\text{ miles/min} \\ \text{time}=5\min \\ \text{distance}=0.4\text{ miles/min}\times5\min =2\text{ miles} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Distance travelled in miles is 2 miles
