In the given problem, it is already given that Randy can walk for a distance of 1/2 a mile in 1/5 of an hour. Now let us first convert 1/5 hour to minutes. this will make the problem a bit easy. 1/5 hour = 1/5 * 60 minutes = 12 minutes So Randy in 12 minutes can walk for a distance of = 1/2 mile Then In 60 minutes Randy can walk for a distance of = [1/(2*12)] * 60 = (1/24) * 60 = 2.5 So Randy can walk 2.5 miles in 1 hour.
