The rate in miles per minute is 0.2 and the miles will the cyclist travel in 2 minutes is 0.4 miles per minute.
A unit conversion expresses the same property as a different unit of measurement. In order to have accuracy and avoid confusion in measurement, we need to convert one unit to another.
For the given situation,
A cyclist rides his bike at a rate = 12 miles per hour
1 hour = 60 minutes
12 miles per hour = [tex]\frac{12}{60}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]0.2[/tex] miles per minute
For 2 minutes, cyclist travel is
⇒ [tex]0.2(2)=0.4[/tex]
Hence we can conclude that the rate in miles per minute is 0.2 and the miles will the cyclist travel in 2 minutes is 0.4 miles per minute.
