Hari walked 2 miles in 1/2 hour. True or False: Hari walked 1 mile in 15 minutes. Can you please explain.
2 answers:
Well you can make a proportion to see if the values (2 miles in 1/2 hour and 1 mile in 15 minutes) are equal to each other or not.
**We need to convert 15 minutes into hours --> 15 minutes / 60 minutes = 1/4 hour
Cross-multiply...
1/2(1) = 2(1/4) <em>*is this true? </em>
1/2 = 2/4 <em /><em>*if you simplify 2/4 by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2 you get 1/2
</em><em />1/2 = 1/2 <em>**this is correct!</em>
So it is true!
