To find out how far Cyan travels after 12.5 minutes at a constant speed of 0.25 miles per minute, you can multiply the speed by the time:
\[
\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time}
\]
Given:
- Speed = 0.25 miles/minute
- Time = 12.5 minutes
Now plug in the values:
\[
\text{Distance} = 0.25 \text{ miles/minute} \times 12.5 \text{ minutes} = 3.125 \text{ miles}
\]
Rounding this to one decimal place gives approximately 3.1 miles.
Therefore, the answer is **Approximately 3.1 miles**.
