Question

When Theresa walks at a pace of 88 steps per minute, it takes her 90 minutes to walk the trail. If she alters her pace to 33 steps per minute, how long will it take her to walk the trail?

Answer 1

Answer: 33 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi to answer this question we have to write a proportion

Speed rate = 88 step per minute

Time = 90 minutes

So, the proportion is 88 step/min / 90 minutes

For 33 steps per minutes = 33 / x minutes

88/90 = 33/x

solving for x:

x= 33/ (88/90)

x = 33.75 = 33 minutes.
