Question

Michaela walked 2/5 mile to the store in 1/4 hour. What is her walking pace?

Answer 1

Her walking pace is:
$\frac{8}{5}$

Solution

$\frac{2}{5} \div \frac{1}{4 } \\ \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{4}{1} = \frac{8}{5}$

Answer 2

2 divided by 5 is .04 miles every 25 minutes.
That means .08 miles every 5 minutes.
If you multiply .08 miles by 12, (because 5x12=60) you get: 0.96 miles/ hour.
