Question

If you can walk 5.3 miles in 2.5 hours, how many minutes does it take to walk 3.18 miles? Round to 1 decimal.

Answer 1

Answer:

90min

Step-by-step explanation:

we can solve the first part by means of the rule of three:

5.3miles ----2.5 hour

3.18miles----x

then

$x=\frac{3.18*2.5}{5.3} \\x=\frac{7.95}{5.3} \\x=1.5 hours$

Now we must convert hours to minutes:

1.5 hours = 1.5hours (1)

1.5 hours =1.5 hours $\frac{60min}{1 hours}$

1.5 hours =(1.5)(60) min

1,.5 hours =90min
