Question

imagine you live only one mile from work and you decide to walk. if you walk four miles per hour, how long will it take you to walk one mile?​

Answer 1

The answer is 15 minutes because if he can walk 4 miles for only an hour and we know that an hour is 60 minutes

4. 60m

1. 15m

So what I have done there is just divide it by 4 to get one mile and divide 60 by 4 to get the 15 minutes

Answer 2

Answer:the distance to work is 1 mile and you can walk at 4 miles per hour, then you can walk 1 mile in ¼ hr = 15 minutes

Explanation:

Dylan,

If the distance to work is 1 mile and you can walk at 4 miles per hour, then you can walk 1 mile in ¼ hr = 15 minutes.

To set up the "equation" think about it this way: (1 mile/ t) = (4 mile/ 1 hr)

so 1/t = 4/1 hr

now multiply both sides by t to get 1 = t·(4/1 hr), next divide both sides by (4/1 hr)

t = 1/(4/ 1 hr) = 1 hr/4 = ¼ hr = 15 min.
