Rick tells us it's about twenty miles to Freeport, up the coast. But we use kilometres. We cycle about 14 km an hour on a good day.
1 mile = 1.6 km How long will it take us to get to Freeport, without breaks?
The weather forecast is promising. Tomorrow it will be cloudy and around 68°F. But we don't use Fahrenheit. We use Centigrade.
To convert Fahrenheit to Centigrade deduct 32, divide by 9 and multiply by 5.
So should we wear shorts and t-shirts when we set off on our bikes?
There is plenty of choice of bread in the supermarket. But we've noticed that some of the cheap loaves have too much sugar. A cheap loaf coasts about $2 whereas a good multigrain loaf might cost $4.29.
$1 = £0.75 (good grief, it was about 80 pence a year ago......) How much more will we spend, in pence, on a loaf of bread to avoid the overly sweet stuff?
Nola wants to know roughly how much weight all our baggage is on our bikes. We're not certain - it varies depending on how much food and water we're carrying, but we think it's about 30 kilos. But in the US they don't use kilos.
1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds How much weight will I have if we eat the 1 kg of porridge oats and 500 gm of pasta I'm carrying. Give the answer in pounds for Nola.
