Question

Allen runs 8 miles in 3 hour, how long does it take him to run 3 miles
​

Answer 1

1 1/8 hours = time

Explanation:

To find the rate, we take the distance and divide by the time

8/3 = 8/3 miles per hour

We know that distance = rate * time

We need to find time

distance/ rate = time

3 miles/ 8/3 miles per hour = time

Copy dot flip

3 * 3/8 = time

9/8 hours = time

1 1/8 hours = time

Answer 2

divide 8 miles by 3 hours to find how many miles he runs in 1 hour:

8 /3 = 2 2/3 miles in one hour.

Now divide 3 miles by 2 2/3 miles per hour:

3 / 2 2/3 = 1 1/8 hours (1 hour 7.5 minutes) to run 3 miles.
