If a cyclist can complete 30 miles in 2 hours, what is their rate in miles per hour?

10 miles per hour
12 miles per hour
15 miles per hour
20 miles per hour

The correct answer is: 15 miles per hour

To determine the cyclist's rate in miles per hour, you need to use the formula for rate, which is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken. In this case, the cyclist travels a distance of 30 miles in a duration of 2 hours. Using the formula: Rate = Distance / Time Substituting the values: Rate = 30 miles / 2 hours = 15 miles per hour. This calculation reveals that the cyclist's speed is 15 miles per hour, making the answer a representation of their performance over that distance and time. This is the correct interpretation of their rate of speed during the cycling activity.
