Barry rode his scooter for 24 minutes at a speed of 0.5 miles per minute. How far did he go?

Question

1.2 miles
4.8 miles
12 miles
48 miles

Answer 1

To find the distance Barry rode on his scooter, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} \]

In this case, Barry's speed is 0.5 miles per minute, and he rode for 24 minutes. Plugging in the values:

\[ \text{Distance} = 0.5 , \text{miles/minute} \times 24 , \text{minutes} = 12 , \text{miles} \]

So, the distance Barry rode is 12 miles.
