Question

Lea walked 1/2 miles in 1/3 hours. How long will it take Lea to walk 2 1/4 miles? Enter your answer as a mixed number in simplest form.

Answer 1

takes her 20 minutes to walk 1/2 a mile
2 miles=80 minutes
1/4= 10 minutes i think
so 80+10=1 1/2

Answer 2

1/3 of an hour is 20mins
multiply 1/2mile*2
and 20mins*2
1mile in 40mins.
1*2.25
40*2.25=90mins
2 1/4 miles in 90mins or an hour and a half
That could also be writen as
2 1/4 miles in 3/2 hours or 1 1/2 hours
