Once a week, Darcy walks to her grandma’s house with a constant speed of 2 hours for every 1 mile. It takes 4 hours for her to get to her Grandma!s house. How many miles does Darcy walk in 1 year and how many hours does she spend walking them?
Answer:
96 miles
192 hours
Step by step explanation:
1) miles
Since her Grandma’s house is 4 hours away and she walks 1 mile for every 2 hours, then she walks 2 miles a week.
There are 4 weeks in one month, so:
2 • 4 = 8
She walks 8 miles every month.
There are 12 months in a years, so:
8 • 12 = 96
She walks 96 miles in a year.
2) hours
She spends 4 hours every week walking to her Grandma’s house.
There are 4 weeks in 1 month, so:
4 • 4 = 16
She spends 16 hours every month walking to her grandmas house.
There are 12 months in a year, so:
16 • 12 = 192
So in 1 year, she spends 192 hours walking to her Grandma’s house.
