A object goes
(3)/(4) miles in 6 minutes. 6 minutes is
(1)/(10) of an hour (1 hour = 60 minutes)



(3)/(4) +(3)/(4) =(6)/(4)=1(2)/(4)=1(1)/(2)


1(1)/(2) is twice
(3)/(4), or it is
(3)/(4) doubled, so you also double the time.

6 · 2 = 12 minutes or 6 + 6 = 12


(12)/(1 hour) =(12)/(60) =(1)/(5)

The object travels
1(1)/(2) miles in
(1)/(5) hours



(3)/(4)+(3)/(4)+(3)/(4) =(9)/(4) =2(1)/(4)


2(1)/(4) is 3 times
(3)/(4), or it is
(3)/(4) tripled, so you also triple 6 minutes.

6 · 3 = 18 or 6 + 6 + 6 = 18


(18)/(1hour)=(18)/(60)=(3)/(10)

The object travels
2(1)/(4) miles in
(3)/(10) hours
