Mike hiked to a lake in 6.5 hours at an average rate of 3 2/5 miles per hour. Pedro hiked the same distance at a rate of 3 4/5 m

balandron [24]

We first need to find the distance.
The information about Mike will provide the distance we need to answer the question about Pedro.

We will use D = rt

Mike:

(6.5)((17/5) = D

22.1 miles = D

Pedro:

D = rt

22.1 = (19/5)t

We need to find t.

22.1 ÷ 3.8 = t

5.8157894737 = t

We now round off as instructed.

5.82 = t

It took Pedro 5.82 hours to reach the lake.

Use a ratio to compare the values. Simplify the ratio.

Ivenika [448]

The question says, 12 yards to 20 feet. First let's convert the units. One yard is equal to 3 feet. So if we multiply, $3\cdot 12=36\quad feet$ . Now we will, divide 36 feet to 20 feet and we'll simplify. $\frac { 36 }{ 20 }$ both 36 and 20 are divisible by 4, that means 4 is their common factor. We can simplify by that. $\frac { 36 }{ 20 } =\frac { 4\cdot 9 }{ 4\cdot 5 } =\frac { 4 }{ 4 } \cdot \frac { 9 }{ 5 } =1\cdot \frac { 9 }{ 5 } =\frac { 9 }{ 5 }$

The answer is D. 9:5
