12. If a bicyclist travels at [tex]15 \text{ km/h}[/tex], how long will it take her to travel 30 km?

[tex]T = \frac{d}{s}[/tex]

A. 450 h
B. 4 h
C. 2.5 h
D. 2 h



Answer :

To determine how long it will take the bicyclist to travel 30 kilometers at a speed of 15 kilometers per hour, we use the formula for time, which is:

[tex]\[ T = \frac{d}{s} \][/tex]

Here, [tex]\( T \)[/tex] represents time, [tex]\( d \)[/tex] represents distance, and [tex]\( s \)[/tex] represents speed.

Given:
- Distance ([tex]\(d\)[/tex]) = 30 km
- Speed ([tex]\(s\)[/tex]) = 15 km/h

Plug these values into the formula:

[tex]\[ T = \frac{30 \text{ km}}{15 \text{ km/h}} \][/tex]

Now, perform the division:

[tex]\[ T = 2 \text{ h} \][/tex]

So, the time it will take the bicyclist to travel 30 kilometers at a speed of 15 kilometers per hour is 2 hours.

Therefore, the correct answer is:
d. [tex]\( 2 \text{ h} \)[/tex]
