A bicyclist rides 14 miles in 112 minutes. If she continues at mis speed, how long will it take her to travel 35 miles? (3 points)
• 43 minutes
• 45 minutes
• 280 minutes
• 602 minutes
To find out how long it will take the bicyclist to travel 35 miles, we can use the concept of proportions.
Let's set up a proportion using the given information:
14 miles / 112 minutes = 35 miles / x minutes
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
14 * x = 35 * 112
Simplifying, we get:
14x = 3920
Divide both sides of the equation by 14:
x = 280
Therefore, it will take her 280 minutes to travel 35 miles. So the correct answer is:
• 280 minutes
