Question

How many minutes will it take to travel 2.5 miles if you are walking at 3.7 miles per hour?

Answer 1

STEP 1:
Set up a proportion

x= time to walk 2.5 miles

3.7 miles/ 1 hour= 2.5 miles/x
cross multiply

(3.7 * x)= (1 * 2.5)

3.7x= 2.5
divide both sides by 3.7

x= 0.6756756757


STEP 2:
find minutes

= 0.6756756757 * 60 minutes/hour
= 40.5405405405 minutes


ANSWER: It will take 40.54 minutes to walk 2.5 miles.

Hope this helps! :)
