Question

Emily can walk 3/4 of a mile in 1/4 of an hour.

Answer 1

Answer:

20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1:

(0.75)/(0.25)=(1)/(x)

0.75*1.333333=1, so multiply 0.25 by 1.333333 to find the value of x!

0.25*1.333333=0.33333, or one-third of an hour, or 20 minutes.

Method 2:

(0.75)/(0.25)=(1)/(x)

Cross-multiply

0.75x=0.25

(0.25)/(0.75)=x

x=0.33333 hours
