Question 1017436: you are riding your bicycle it takes you 20 minutes to go 5 miles. Find your average speed. Write a rule to describe the distance you cycle as a function of the number of minutes you cycle. How long would it take you to cycle 12 miles? answer Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 20 minutes divided by 5 miles = 4 minutes per mile
To travel 12 miles, multiply by 4. 12*4 = 48 minutes
There are 60 minutes in an hour. 60/4 = 15 mph
