Question

Abe and his puppy Rover are out for a morning jog at a comfortable pace of 10 minutes per

mile. If they keep up this pace for 2 hours, how many miles will they jog?
Write your answer as a whole number, decimal, or simplified fraction. Do not round.

Answer 1

10 times 6 is 12. 10 is the minutes per mile and there are 60 minutes in an hour[60 divided by 10 is 6]. if you multiply 12 times two [ problem says for 2 hours] you will get the answer of 24

Answer 2

`\boxed{\text{12 mi}}`

Explanation:

1.Convert hours to minutes

60 min = 1 h

`\text{Time} = \text{2 h} * \frac{\text{60 min}}{\text{1 h}} = \text{120 min}`

2. Calculate the distance

They can cover 1 mi in 10 min

`\text{Distance} = \text{120 min} * \frac{\text{1 mi}}{\text{10 min}} = \textbf{12 mi}\\\\\text{Abe and his dog will jog $\boxed{\textbf{12 mi}}$}`
