a cyclist rides his bike at a speed of 6 miles per hour. what is this speed in miles per minute? How many miles will the cyclist travel in 5 minutes?

Answer 1

Speed in miles per hour=6

So in miles per minute it becomes

6*(miles /hour)=6*(miles/60 minutes)=(6/60)(miles/minute)=1/10 miles /minute

So in 5 minutes miles travelled is

5*(1/10)=1/2 miles
