AJ. and her sister are entering a 200-mile bike race on their bicycle built for two. On a training ride, they traveled 60 miles in 2.5 hours. They want to use
this information to find out how long it will take them to finish the bike race. Draw a diagram for this situation and be ready to explain how you found your
solutions to the questions below.
a. What is their bicycling rate? What is their unit rate (per hour)?
b. How far can they go in three hours? In six hours? Explain how you can use the rate of travel and the time to find the distance.
c. If they bike ten miles, how long will it take them? Explain how the distance and rate helped you find the time.
d. If they bike at this same rate for the entire race, how long will it take them to finish the 200-mile race?
e. Summarize in words the relationship between the distance the girls travel, their rate of travel, and how long they ride (the time).
