Question

Bryan walked at a rate of 1/3 mile every 5 minutes. what was his walking rate in miles per hour

Answer 1

20/1 or 20 miles per hour.

Explanation:

1. make 5 into 5/1

2. multiply across (shown below)

60 1 60

---- x ---- = ----

1 3 3

3. simplify (what can 60 and 3 both be divisible by?)

4. Solve, 20/1.

Thus, Bryan would walk 20 miles an hour.
