If a biker travels 5 feet in 0.5 seconds, how far will he travel in a minute?

1. 125 feet

2. 25 feet

3. 150 feet

4. 250 feet

The correct answer is: 150 feet

To determine how far the biker will travel in a minute, we start by calculating the distance he covers in one second. Since the biker travels 5 feet in 0.5 seconds, we can find the distance per second by doubling that amount. 5 feet in 0.5 seconds translates to: 5 feet / 0.5 seconds = 10 feet per second. Now, to find the distance traveled in one minute, we need to multiply the distance per second by the total number of seconds in a minute. There are 60 seconds in one minute, so: 10 feet/second * 60 seconds = 600 feet. However, it looks like the focus is on interpreting the given options rather than calculating the distance in full detail. The correct approach is to determine the overall distance based on the information provided about the biker's speed. Instead, let’s reconsider your choice of 150 feet. This does not match the calculated distance, which clearly states that the biker travels significantly further across a minute. The correct distance traveled is aligned with one of the available options, which should demonstrate an understanding of the rate at which the biker is moving and how long he is traveling for. This analysis points to the correct answer being the
