Question

Lin ran 2 3/4 miles in 2/5 of an hour, Noah ran 8 2/3 miles in 4/3 of an hour, how far would Lin run in 1 hour?

Answer 1

Answer:

$6\frac{7}{8}\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Lil's distance in 2/5 hrs is 2 3/4hrs

-Let x be the distance ran in 1 hr.

#We equate and cross multiply to solve for x as follows:

$\frac{2}{5}\ hrs=2\frac{3}{4}\\1\ hr=x\\\\\therefore x=2\frac{3}{4}/\frac{2}{5}\\\\=6\frac{7}{8}\ miles$

Hence, Lil can run 6 7/8 miles in 1 hr.
