Ms. Spilker rode her bike 30 miles in 2 hours. How far did she ride her bike in 0.5 hours?

1 answer

To find out how far Ms. Spilker rode her bike in 0.5 hours, we need to find the speed at which she was riding.

Speed = Distance ÷ Time

In this case, the distance is 30 miles and the time is 2 hours:

Speed = 30 miles ÷ 2 hours
Speed = 15 miles per hour

Now that we know her speed, we can calculate how far she rode her bike in 0.5 hours by using the formula:

Distance = Speed × Time

In this case, the speed is 15 miles per hour and the time is 0.5 hours:

Distance = 15 miles per hour × 0.5 hours
Distance = 7.5 miles

Therefore, Ms. Spilker rode her bike 7.5 miles in 0.5 hours.
