Suppose you are walking home after school. The distance from school to your home is five kilometers.
- On foot, you can get home in 25 minutes.
- If you rode a bicycle, you could get home in 10 minutes.
a. What is your average speed while walking?
b. What is your average speed while bicycling?
c. How much faster do you travel on your bicycle?
Answer (2)
On foot= 1 kilometer per 5 minutes Bike= I kilometer per 2 minutes 3 minutes fast per mile on bike
The average speed while walking is approximately 12 km/h, and while bicycling, it is about 30 km/h. The difference in speed between bicycling and walking is 18 km/h. This means you travel faster by bicycle.
