Question

Marcus hikes at a rate of 2 miles per hour if he hikes for 6 1/3 hours how many will he hike

Answer 1

Answer:

Marcus will walk 38/3 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

• Rate of hiking (r): 2 miles per hour = 2 mi/h

• Time elapsed (t): 19/3 hours

6 1/3 = 6 + 1/3 = 18/3 + 1/3 = 19/3

We can find the distance (d) that he walks using the following expression.

r = d/t

d = r × t = 2 mi/h × 19/3 h = 38/3 mi = (36 + 2)/3 mi = 12 2/3 mi

Marcus will walk 38/3 miles.

Answer 2

2 = 1 hour               
x = 6 1/3   

2 * 6 1/3 = 12 2/3
