Question

Erica can run 1/6 of a mile in a minute. her school is 2/3 of a mile away from her home. at this speed how long would it take Erica to run home from school?

Answer 1

d=vt (distance equals velocity times time)

t=d/v, we are given that d=2/3 and v=1/6 so

t=(2/3)/(1/6)

t=(2/3)(6/1)

t=12/3

t=4 minutes.

Answer 2

4 minutes;

because;
2/6= 1/3

we now 1/3 of a mile take 2 minutes, since she lives 2/3 of a mile away it will take her 4 minutes

Hope that helps!
