SOLUTION :

❒ Given :-

• Ryan rides 5 miles in $\sf{\dfrac{3}{4}}$ hour.

❒ To Find :-

• How many mile can Ryan ride at the same rate in 1 hour.

____________________________________________

❒ Calculation :-

It is given that,

• Ryan rides 5 miles in $\sf{\dfrac{3}{4}}$ hour.

Thus,

• ✠ In $\sf{\dfrac{3}{4}}$ hour, Ryan can ride = 5 miles

⇒ In 1 hour, Ryan can ride = ( 5 × $\sf{\dfrac{4}{3}}$ ) miles

⇒ In 1 hour, Ryan can ride = $\sf{\dfrac{20}{3}}$ miles

⇒ In 1 hour, Ryan can ride = 6.666 miles

∴ In 1 hour, Ryan can ride = 6.67 miles (approx)

• Hence, Ryan can ride 6.67 miles (approx) in 1 hour at the same rate.

❒ Alternative Method :-

It is given that,

• Ryan rides 5 miles in $\sf{\dfrac{3}{4}}$ hour.

We know that,

• ★ 1 hour = 60 minutes

➜ $\sf{\dfrac{3}{4}}$ hour = ( 60 × $\sf{\dfrac{3}{4}}$ ) minutes

➜ $\sf{\dfrac{3}{4}}$ hour = 45 minutes

So,

• Ryan rides 5 miles in 45 minutes.

We have to find,

• How many miles can Ryan ride in 60 minutes (1 hour)

Now,

• ✠ In 45 minutes, Ryan can ride = 5 miles

⇒ In 1 minutes, Ryan can ride = ( $\sf{\dfrac{5}{45}}$ ) miles

⇒ In 60 minutes, Ryan can ride = ( 60 × $\sf{\dfrac{5}{45}}$ ) miles

⇒ In 60 minutes, Ryan can ride = 6.666 miles

∴ In 60 minutes, Ryan can ride = 6.67 miles (approx)

• Hence, Ryan can ride 6.67 miles (approx) in 60 minutes or 1 hour.
