At this rate, how far can she bike in 90 minutes?

Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

To find out how far Dana can bike in 90 minutes, we first need to determine her rate of biking.

Dana bikes 10 miles in 50 minutes. So, we can calculate her biking rate as follows:

1. Find her speed in miles per minute:

\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{10 \text{ miles}}{50 \text{ minutes}} = 0.2 \text{ miles per minute}
\]

2. Now, multiply her speed by the total time to find out how far she can bike in 90 minutes:

\[
\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} = 0.2 \text{ miles per minute} \times 90 \text{ minutes} = 18 \text{ miles}
\]

So, Dana can bike **18 miles** in 90 minutes.
