Answer:

5 miles

Explanation:

distance = rate times time

distance = (10 miles per hour)( 30 minutes) 30 minutes is equal to 1/2 hour

distance =
(10 miles)/(hour)
((1 hour)/(2) ) You can cancel words, like like cancelling numbers The hours cancel out and you are left with
(10 miles)/(2) which is equal to 5 miles.
