Question

Lucy rides her bike at a constant speed of 12 km/h. How far can she travel in 235 minutes?

Answer 1

Answer:

47 km

Explanation:

• Lucy's constant speed = 12 km/h.

,

• Time taken = 235 minutes

First, recall the formula below:

$Distance=Speed\times Time$

Next, note that the speed is given in km/hr, so we convert the given time to hours:

$235\text{ minutes}=\frac{235}{60}\text{ hours}$

Therefore:

$Distance=12\times\frac{235}{60}=47\text{ km}$

She can travel 47 km in 235 minutes.
