Rita goes for a bike ride on a trail by her house. After 15 minutes of riding she sees a mile marker. When she reaches the third mile marker, she realizes that she has been biking for 30 minutes. What is the rate at which she is riding?

Given:

Rita covered 1 mile in 15 minutes.

She covered 3 miles in 30 minutes.

To find:

The rate at which she is riding.

Solution:

Let y be the number of miles covered in x minutes.

Rita covered 1 mile in 15 minutes. So, the point is (15,1).

She covered 3 miles in 30 minutes. So, the point is (30,3).

Slope of the line:

Therefore, she is riding miles per minute.

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following

it's undefined because anything multiplied by 0 is 0. that said, 7 days is 168 hours
