Answer 1

5 miles per hour

To find the speed in miles per hour, divide the distance by the time: 12 miles / 334 minutes = 0.0359 miles per minute.
Then, convert the minutes to hours by dividing by 60: 334 minutes / 60 = 5.5667 hours.
Finally, divide the distance by the time in hours to get the speed in miles per hour: 12 miles / 5.5667 hours = 5 miles per hour.

Therefore, Leah rides her bike at a speed of 5 miles per hour.
