If a bike race covers 120 mi over 6 days and the
cyclists ride the same distance each day, how
many miles does each cyclist ride each day?
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The only technical knowledge we need to know here is the equation
speed = distance/time
try to solve it yourself
Solution:
Distance travelled = 120 miles
Time = 6 days
Distance travelled each day = 120/6 = 20 miles
The cyclist travels 20 miles each day
Explanation:
In the question it says that bike racer covers 120 miles in 6 days and then it is asked for cyclist how much he will ride each day.
It doesn't make any difference as in calculations who is covering the distance whether be a bike racer or a cyclist.
It is asked like this to confuse people a little bit because, they start thinking that a person riding bike in compared with a person riding cycle in real will be more fast or will cover more distance that might be true but, in calculations it doesn't matter because we are calculating distance travelled and not including anything other which can be fast or slow in reality.
