Given, Timothy decides to walk to the library which is miles away.
His speed is miles per hour.
First we will con vert this mixed fraction to improper fraction.
We know that 1 hour = 60 minutes.
So Timothy covers miles in 60 minutes
He covers 1 miles in minutes
He covers miles in = ( As when we divide fractions we will multiply the reciprocal of it)
=
=
=
=
So it will take Timothy 20 minutes to walk to his friends.
But his friends will be in the library in 15 minutes.
So he will not get there before his friends.
We have got the required answer here.
