Question

Dharmesh walked 1/2 mile in 20 minutes, or 1/3 of an hour. What was his average sped in miles per hour?

Answer 1

Since Dharmesh walked 1/2 mile in 20 minutes, and 20 minutes is 1/3 of an hour, multiply how much he walked in 20 minutes by 3 to get the speed in 1 hour.

Multiply by 3 because 1/3 of an hour is 20 minutes. If you switch it around, it becomes 20*3

1/2 * 3 = 1.5 or 1 1/2.

Hope this helped☺☺

Answer 2

Hey there!

Here is your answer:

The proper answer to this question is "1.5 or 1 1/2miles".

Reason:

20 minutes is 1/3 of an hour
20×3=60
1/2×3=1 1/2 miles
1 1/2=1.5

Therefore the answer is 1 1/2 or 1.5!
