Question

richard is walking around his neighborhood. if he walks 1/3 mile in 1/6 hour, how fast is richard walking, in miles per hour?

Answer 1

Answer:

2 miles per hours

Step-by-step explanation:

You divide 1/3 mile by 1/6 hour

Use the reciprocal.

1/3 x 6/1 = 2/1

Simplify

2/1 = 2

You can also solve it this way:

If 1/6 hour is 10 minutes, and it takes 10 minutes to walk 1/3 a mile, then it would take 30 minutes to walk a mile.

30 x 2 = 60

Either way, Richard walks 2 miles per hour.
