Question

Claire power walks 1/9 of a mile in 1/54 of an hour. How long will it take her to walk 9 miles?

Answer 1

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You have that she walks 1/9 of a mile in 1/54 of an hour, Therefore, to calculate the time that will take her to walk 9 miles, you need to multiply 9 miles by 1/54 and divide the result by 1/9.

2. Let's say that
`t` is the time:

`t=((9)((1)/(54)) )/((1)/(9)) =((9)/(54) )/((1)/(9) ) =(3)/(2)`

Therefore, the answer is: 3/2 of an hour.
