    What is the speed of the cyclist in miles per hour?

    From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:
    A cyclist rides 8 miles in 30 minutes.
    The above parameters mean that
    Distance = 8 miles
    Time = 30 minutes
    Convert the minutes to hour
    So, we have
    Time = 0.5 hour
    The speed of the cyclist in miles per hour is then calculated as
    speed = 8 miles/0.5 hour
    Evaluate the quotient
    speed = 16 miles/hour
