    It took Albert 2 1/2 hours to ride to the park

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

    Speed of Albert to the park = 12 mph

    Speed of Albert back home = 20 mph

    Total time of the round trip = 4 hours

    Distance each way = 30 miles

    2. How long did the ride to the park take?

    Let's recall that the formula of speed is:

    Speed = Distance/Time, therefore Time = Distance/Speed

    Time it took Albert to ride to the park = 30/12

    Time it took Albert to ride to the park = 5/2 = 2 1/2 hours

    Time it took Albert to ride back home = 30/20

    Time it took Albert to ride back home = 3/2 = 1 1/2 hours

    It took Albert 2 1/2 hours to ride to the park
