Answer 1

How do you solve what

Answer 2

A object goes $\frac{3}{4}$ miles in 6 minutes. 6 minutes is $\frac{1}{10}$ of an hour (1 hour = 60 minutes)

$\frac{3}{4} +\frac{3}{4} =\frac{6}{4}=1\frac{2}{4}=1\frac{1}{2}$

$1\frac{1}{2}$ is twice $\frac{3}{4}$, or it is $\frac{3}{4}$ doubled, so you also double the time.

6 · 2 = 12 minutes    or    6 + 6 = 12

$\frac{12}{1 hour} =\frac{12}{60} =\frac{1}{5}$

The object travels $1\frac{1}{2}$ miles in $\frac{1}{5}$ hours

$\frac{3}{4}+\frac{3}{4}+\frac{3}{4} =\frac{9}{4} =2\frac{1}{4}$

$2\frac{1}{4}$ is 3 times $\frac{3}{4}$, or it is $\frac{3}{4}$ tripled, so you also triple 6 minutes.

6 · 3 = 18        or      6 + 6 + 6 = 18

$\frac{18}{1hour}=\frac{18}{60}=\frac{3}{10}$

The object travels $2\frac{1}{4}$ miles in $\frac{3}{10}$ hours
