Question

Aditi can walk 1.7 miles in half an hour. At the same constant speed, how many hours would it take her to walk 17 miles?

Answer 1

It takes aditi 5 hours to walk 17 miles.

Explanation:

First, find her speed in miles per hour.

1.7 miles in half an hour.

1.7 * 2 = 3.4

3.4 miles per hour.

To find the time, use the distance formula.

Distance = rate * time

17 = 3.4 * time

17/3.4 = time

5 = time
