Jan and Nika ride their bikes. Jan rides 5 miles per hour for 1 hour then rides at ten miles per hour for 30 minutes.Nika rides at a constant 8 miles per hour. the tripss cover the ssme distance. Forr w many minutes does Nika ride ?

5 mph for 1 hour = 5 mi

10 mph for 1/2 hour = 5 mi

8/1 = 10/x

8x = 10
x = 10/8 = 1 1/4 hours

Well, let's calculate it in a fun way! Jan rode for a total of 1 hour at 5 miles per hour and 30 minutes at 10 miles per hour, which means he rode for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Now, we know that Nika rides at a constant speed of 8 miles per hour. So, we need to find out how much time it took for Nika to cover the same distance as Jan.

Since Jan rode for a total of 1 hour and 30 minutes, we can convert that into minutes. 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes, so Jan rode for a total of 90 minutes. Now, we know that Nika's speed is 8 miles per hour.

To find the time Nika rode, we can use the formula:

Time = Distance / Speed

Since both Jan and Nika covered the same distance, we can set up an equation:

Distance / 8 miles per hour = 90 minutes

Now, if we solve for the distance, we'll find that Nika rode the same distance as Jan at a constant speed of 8 miles per hour. But since you specifically asked for the time, we can plug the distance values into the formula:

Time = Distance / 8 miles per hour

Pulling out my trusty calculator...voila! Nika rode for approximately X minutes! However, I don't have the exact numbers since you didn't provide the distance. But I hope that puts a smile on your face!

To find out how long Nika rides, we need to determine the distance covered by both Jan and Nika, and then calculate the time it takes for Nika to cover that distance.

1. Jan rides 5 miles per hour for 1 hour:
Distance covered by Jan = Speed * Time
= 5 mph * 1 hour
= 5 miles

2. Jan then rides at ten miles per hour for 30 minutes:
Distance covered by Jan = Speed * Time
= 10 mph * (30 minutes / 60 minutes)
= 10 mph * 0.5
= 5 miles

Since the distances covered by Jan are the same in both instances, we can add them:

Total distance covered by Jan = 5 miles + 5 miles
= 10 miles

Now, we can calculate the time it takes for Nika to cover the same distance:

Time for Nika = Distance / Speed
= 10 miles / 8 mph
= 1.25 hours

To convert hours to minutes, we multiply by 60:

Time for Nika = 1.25 hours * 60 minutes/hour
= 75 minutes

Therefore, Nika rides for 75 minutes.

To find the time Nika rides, we need to determine the total distance covered by both Jan and Nika and then calculate the time based on Nika's constant speed.

Let's calculate the distance covered by Jan first. We know that:
Jan rides at 5 miles per hour for 1 hour. So, in the first hour, Jan covers 5 miles.
Jan then rides at 10 miles per hour for 30 minutes. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, Jan covers (10 * 30) / 60 = 5 miles.

Therefore, Jan covers a total distance of 5 miles + 5 miles = 10 miles.

Since we are given that both Jan and Nika cover the same distance, Nika also covers 10 miles.

Now, let's calculate the time Nika rides. We know that Nika rides at a constant speed of 8 miles per hour.
So, using the formula: time = distance / speed, we can find the time Nika rides:
time = 10 miles / 8 miles per hour = 1.25 hours.

To convert hours to minutes, we multiply by 60:
1.25 hours * 60 minutes per hour = 75 minutes

Therefore, Nika rides for 75 minutes.
