Please Help me out, thanks.

-It takes 41 minutes to walk there, according the mapquest.
So; How long would it take to bike there?
 
Doesn't mapquest gives the time based on "car driving time" from start point to destination?
Average walk speed is 3mph, and an average bicycle speed is probably 8mph or faster if not too many hills or stops. If walking takes 41 minutes, then biking should take approximately 15 minutes.

First wrk out the speed you walk at:
D
____
SXT

Distance you walk / 41

/ = divided by

then work out how much faster you cycle than you walk (i like to use 2x(double))

then do:

Distance / approx speed estimated

use the triangle i made obove (s = speed d = distance t = time) as this helps work out speed distance and time convertions.

Hope this helps!
