After 10 minutes, Cyan travels
miles.

Answer 1

To calculate how far Cyan travels after 10 minutes, you can use the formula:

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

In this case, Cyan's speed is 0.25 miles per minute, and the time is 10 minutes. Plugging in the values:

\[
\text{Distance} = 0.25 \, \text{miles/minute} \times 10 \, \text{minutes}
\]

Calculating this:

\[
\text{Distance} = 0.25 \times 10 = 2.5 \, \text{miles}
\]

Therefore, after 10 minutes, Cyan travels **2.5 miles**.
