Question

Jenna walks 4 miles in 1 hour. At this rate, how many miles can she walk in 3.5 hours?

Answer 1

Explanation:

4 miles = 1 hour

so in order to find how many miles she can walk you divide 4 miles and 1 hour by 2.

4 divided by 2=2 miles

1 divided by 2=0.5 hours

So we know now that 0.5 hours = 2 miles

now we do 3.5 divided by 0.5 to find how much we have to multiply the miles by.

3.5 divided by 0.5=7

than we multiply the 2 miles per 0.5 hour by 7.

7 x 2=14 miles

She walks 14 miles every 3.5 hours.

Answer 2

rate = 4 miles/hour

d=r*t distance = rate* time

d= 4*3.5

= 14 miles
