Question

A killer whale can swim 40 miles in 1 1/4 hours. how far can the whale swim in an hour?

Answer 1

Okay so $1 \frac{1}{4}$ = 75 minutes. Now we divide 40 by 75. 40÷75=0.53333333333333 miles. We know 1 hour is 60 minutes so we are going to multiply 0.5333333333333 by 60. 60×0.533333333333=32 miles. Therefore, your answer is 32 miles.
