Question

If kendra can walk 5 kilometers in 1 hour then how long does it take her to walk 1 kilometer?

Answer 1

1/5 hour or 12 minutes

Explanation:

We can use proportions to solve this problem. Put the distance over the time

5 km 1 km

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

1 hour x hours

Using cross products

5x = 1

Divide by 5

x = 1/5 hour

or if we take it to minutes

1/5 * 60 = 12 minutes
