Question

Michelle walks at a speed of 3/5mile per

hour.For exercise, she wants to walk to
the park, which is 2 V4 miles away. How
long will it take Michelle to walk to the
park?

Answer 1

6 hours 40 minutes.

Explanation:

Speed = Total distance covered/ Total time

Speed of Michelle = 3/5 miles per hour

Total distance travelled by michelle =
`2√(4) =2* 2= 4\ miles`

Total time taken by michelle to walk the park = Total distance travelled/speed

Total time taken by michelle to walk the park =
`(4)/(3/5) =(4* 5)/(3) =(20)/(3) =6(2)/(3) hours`

Now, 2/3 hours =
`(2)/(3) * 60 =40\ minutes` (1 hour = 60 minutes)

Total times taken to walk to the park = 6 hours 40 minutes.
