TRIATHLONS Irena is training for an upcoming triathlon and plans to run 12 miles today. Jorge offered to ride his bicycle to help her maintain her pace. If Irena wants to keep a steady pace of 6.5 minutes per mile, how fast should Jorge ride in miles per hour?
Thank you so much for helping.
1mil/6.5 min x 60 min/1hour = 9,2 mph
To determine how fast Jorge should ride in miles per hour, we need to convert Irena's pace of 6.5 minutes per mile to miles per hour.
To do this, we need to calculate how many miles Irena would cover in an hour if she maintained a pace of 6.5 minutes per mile.
Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we divide 60 by 6.5:
60 / 6.5 = 9.2308 miles per hour
Therefore, Irena would cover approximately 9.2308 miles per hour.
Since Jorge is riding alongside Irena and they plan to maintain the same pace, he would also need to ride at approximately 9.2308 miles per hour.
6.5minutes per mile= xminutes per hour
there are 60 minutes in an hour therefore you multiply 6.5x60 and you will get your answer
