Ashanti Arnold · Answer 1

d = rt (d = distance, r = rate (speed) and t = time)

14 = 7t

Divide both sides by 7:

t = 14/7

t = 2 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes.

2 hours x 60 = 120 minutes total.

Amiyah Mendez · Answer 2

120 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

14=7t you have to solve for t if you want to find the time it took for him to ride his bike. Since 7 is basically multiplied to t, you have to divide both sides by 7, and you get 2=t. But, since this is in hours, you have to convert it to minutes, and as you know, there are 60 minutes in one hour, so you then you multiply 2 to 60 to get 120 minutes.
