Question 1165244: Jesse rode his bike for 2 hours at a constant rate. During the first 1.5 hours, he rode 21 miles. How many miles did Jesse ride his bike during the last half hour? Found 2 solutions by greenestamps, josgarithmetic:Answer by greenestamps(13200) (Show Source):
Half an hour is one-third as much time as 1.5 hours. Since his rate was constant, the distance he rode in the last half hour was one-third the distance he rode in the first 1.5 hours.
