Question

Emmanuel walks at an average speed of 5 m/min. How far does he walk in 1.7 hours? What formula do you use to solve the problem?

Answer 1

Emmanuel will walk 510 miles in 1.7 hours.

Explanation:

Given that Emmanuel walks at an average speed of 5 m/min.

It means:

• Average speed = 5 miles per min

As there are 60 minutes in 1 hour.

so

1.7 hours = 102 minutes

Thus,

The walking distance in 102 minutes = 5 × 102

= 510 miles ∵ 1 min = 5 miles

Therefore, Emmanuel will walk 510 miles in 1.7 hours.
