Question

Sherman is training for a bike race. He rides his bike 6 1/4 miles in 1/3 hour. What is Sherman’s rate in miles per hour? Sherman rides his bike mile(s) per hour.

Answer 1

I don't know the best way to set this up - but we can measure the change in minutes to the change in miles. (18 - 12) / (2 - 1)  =  6/1   So, in 6 minutes Marco covers 1 mile. Marco has one more mile to get home, so 18 + 6 = 24 minutes total to get home.24 minutes divided by 6 minutes per mile is 4 miles total.
