Question

How much times will Alex need to walk to his school, which is 2 1/4 miles away from his house, if he would walk with the speed of 3mph?
(Show your work ^^)

Answer 1

Alex walks 3 miles per hour. So if he need to find how much time he will need to get to school, you just have to divide the distance from school by his miles per hour. 2.25/3 which equals 0.75. 0.75 is the percent of an hour he needs to walk 2.25 miles. To find the total minutes, multiply 0.75 by 60 to get 45. Alex takes 45 minutes to walk to school.
