Nicole rides her bike 24 miles in 2 hours.

Question

Drag and drop a rate or quantity from the box to each blank to calculate her rate in meters per minute,

Answer 1

Rate in meters per minute:

1.24 miles/2 hours

Given that 1 mile is approximately equal to 1,609 meters, we can convert the miles to meters:

2.24 miles/2 hours * 1,609 meters/1 mile = 482.8 meters/2 hours

To convert hours to minutes, we multiply by 60:

482.8 meters/2 hours * 60 minutes/1 hour = 14,484 meters/2 hours

Finally, we divide by 2 to calculate the rate in meters per minute:

14,484 meters/2 hours / 2 = 7,242 meters/1 hour

Therefore, Nicole's rate in meters per minute is approximately 7,242 meters per hour.
