Answer:

She can walk 2.46 repeating miles in 1 hour

Explanation:

We can write a proportion to solve this problem. Write the number of miles on top and the time in minutes on the bottom. We know 1 hour is 60 minutes.

1.85 miles x miles

------------------- = ----------------------

45 miles 60 minutes


Using cross products

1.85 * 60 = 45x

Divide each side by 45

1.85*60/45 = 45x/45

2.466666666 =x

She can walk 2.46 repeating miles in 1 hour
