You are riding your bicycle.

Question

in 20 mins you travel 5 miles. how far would you go (in kilometers and to the nearest whole number) if you traveled for 1 hour.

I keep forgeting how to do this plz halp

Answer 1

An hour is 60 minutes, so set up equal ratios:

$(5mi)/(20min)=(xmi)/(60min)$

$5/20=x/60$

Solve for x for the answer in miles. Multiply by 1.6 to convert to km, round to the nearest whole km.
