A speed walker covered 6 3/4 mi in 1 1/2 hour. How far will he walk with the same pace in 2.5 hours

Answer 1

11.25 miles

Explanation:

If you divide 6.75 by 1.5 then you would get that he walks 4.5 miles an hour. Then you would multiply 4.5 by 2.5 to get that he walks 11.25 miles in 2.5 hours.

Answer 2

He will walk 11.25 miles in 2.5 hours

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A speed walker covered 6 3/4 mi in 1 1/2 hour.

`6(3)/(4)\ miles =1(1)/(2)\ hours`

This can be written as:

`(27)/(4)\ miles =(3)/(2)\ hours`

Multiply both the sides by 2/3.

`(27)/(4)* (2)/(3)\ miles =(3)/(2)* (2)/(3)\ hours`

`4.5\ miles =1\ hours`

We need to find how far will he walk with the same pace in 2.5 hours.

Multiply both the sides by 2.5

`4.5* 2.5\ miles =1* 2.5\ hours`

`11.25\ miles =2.5\ hours`

Hence, he will walk 11.25 miles in 2.5 hours
