Question

Miley can walk 5 1/2 miles and 1 2/3 hours how far can she walk in four hours?

Answer 1

Answer:

Miley can walk a distance of $13\frac{1}{5}$ miles in four hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Distance walked by Miley in $1\frac{2}{3}$ hours = $5\frac{1}{2}$ miles

We will find unit rate in term of hours.

$\frac{5}{3}\ hours = \frac{11}{2}\ miles$

Multiplying both sides by 3/5

$\frac{3}{5}*\frac{5}{3}\ hour = \frac{11}{2}*\frac{3}{5}\\\\Unit\ rate = \frac{33}{10}\miles\ per\ hour$

Distance walked in four hours = $4*\frac{33}{10}\ miles$

Distance walked in 4 hours = $\frac{66}{5}=13\frac{1}{5}\ miles$

Hence,

Miley can walk a distance of $13\frac{1}{5}$ miles in four hours.
