you ride your bike for a distance of 30 km. you travel at a speed of 0.75 km/ minute how many minutes dose this take?

Answer 1

We know both our distances:

30 km

0.75 km

We only know one time per distance

30 km per x minute(s)

0.75 km per 1 minute(s)

Because our units are the same (km and min.), we can solve for our x time in minutes via ratio:

30 km/x min. = 0.75 km/1 min.

x min. = 30 km/(0.75 km/1 min.)

x min. = 40 min. (unit "km" cancels so you're left with the unit "min.")

It takes a total of 40 minutes for you to ride your bike 30 km at a rate of 0.75 km/minute.

Answer 2

(30 km)/(0.75 km/min) = 40 minutes
