Question

Inez Walks 1.85 mi in 45 minutes , how many miles can she walk in 1 hour?

Answer 1

Answer:

She can walk 2.46 repeating miles in 1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a proportion to solve this problem.  Write the number of miles on top and the time  in minutes on the bottom.  We know 1 hour is 60 minutes.

1.85 miles                   x miles

-------------------  = ----------------------

45 miles                  60 minutes

 

Using cross products

1.85 * 60 = 45x

Divide each side by 45

1.85*60/45 = 45x/45

2.466666666 =x

She can walk 2.46 repeating miles in 1 hour
