The Ride for Health Bicycle Club has chosen a 60-mile course for this Saturday's ride. If the riders plan on averaging 15 mph while they are riding, and they have a 2-hour lunch break planned, how long will it take them to complete the trip? ​

Respuesta :

Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Total time it will take to complete the trip = Total time spent on riding + Time taken for lunch break.

Distance to be covered = 60 miles.

D = 60

Speed of riding = 15 miles per hour

S = 15

Thus time taken to cover a distance 60 miles by riding at a speed of 15 mph:

T=D/S=60/15

T= 4hours

They will spend 4 hours on riding and 2 hour of lunch break.

Hence total time taken to complete the trip = 4 + 2 = 6 hours.

It will take 6 hours to complete the trip.
