Answer:
15 miles/hour = 0.25 miles/minute
The cyclist would have traveled 5 miles in 20 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
15 miles per hour is written as
15 miles/hour
To convert 15 miles/hour to miles/minute
From 1 hour = 60 minutes
∴ 15 miles/hour = 15 miles/ 60 minutes
= (15/60) miles/minute
= 0.25 miles/minute
To calculate how many miles the cyclist will travel in 20 minutes
That is, Time, t = 20 minutes
Velocity, v = 15 miles/hour = 0.25 miles/minute
Distance, s = ??
From,
[tex]Velocity = \frac{Distance}{Time}\\[/tex]
∴[tex]Distance = Velocity[/tex] × [tex]Time[/tex]
[tex]Distance = 0.25 miles/minute[/tex] × [tex]20 minutes[/tex]
[tex]Distance = 5 miles[/tex]
Hence, The cyclist would have traveled 5 miles in 20 minutes.
