Two bikers track how many miles they traveled for each hour they spent biking. Biker A's distance traveled is shown in the table above. Using the data above, which biker can cycle faster? How fast were they traveling?

Question

A. Runner A has the fastest time at 12 average miles per minute.

B. Runner A has the fastest time at 10 average miles per minute.

C. Runner B has the fastest time at 12 average miles per minute.

D. Runner B has the fastest time at 10 average miles per minute.

Answer 1

To determine which biker can cycle faster and their average speed, we would need the actual distance data (the values in the table you mentioned, which is not provided). However, I can guide you on how to calculate the average speed yourself.

To calculate the average speed of each biker, follow these steps:

1. Find the total distance traveled by the biker over the total time spent biking.

2. Use the formula for average speed: \[ \text{Average Speed} = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}} \]

3. Convert the units as necessary (e.g., if distance is in miles and time is in hours, the speed will be in miles per hour).

Once you have the average speeds for Biker A and Biker B, compare them to identify who is faster and check whether the speed falls under one of the given options (12 miles per minute, 10 miles per minute).

Please provide the distance data, and I can help you calculate and analyze the results!
