Recall that 60 minutes is equivalent to 1 hour. Since we have a rate of 12 miles in one hour, we can divide 12 by 60 to determine the distance traveled in 1 minute: 12/60 = 0.2 miles in 1 minute
Now we can use this rate of 0.2 miles in 1 minute to find how far you could travel in 25 minutes:
0.2 miles in 1 minute * 25 minutes = 5 miles in 25 minutes
