Question

Lin ran 2 3/4 miles in 2/5 of an hour, Noah ran 8 2/3 miles in 4/3 of an hour, how far would NOah run in 1 hour?

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance cover by Noah in 1 hour to cover distance is 6.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The distance cover by Lin = 2 $\dfrac{3}{4}$ miles = $\dfrac{11}{4}$ miles

The time taken to cover distance by Lin =  $\dfrac{2}{5}$ hours

Again

The distance cover by Noah = 8 $\dfrac{2}{3}$ miles = $\dfrac{26}{3}$ miles

The time taken to cover distance by Noah =  $\dfrac{4}{3}$ hours

Let the distance cover by Noah in 1 hour = d miles

∵ The distance cover by Noah in $\dfrac{4}{3}$ hours = $\dfrac{26}{3}$ miles

∴ The distance cover by Noah in 1 hour = $\frac{\frac{26}{3}}{\frac{4}{3}}$

I.e d = $\frac{26\times 3}{4\times 3}$ miles

or, d = $\dfrac{13}{2}$ = 6.5 miles

So, The distance cover by Noah in 1 hour = d = 6.5 miles

Hence, The distance cover by Noah in 1 hour to cover distance is 6.5 miles Answer
