Question

Suppose you walk 2 miles in 35 minutes. 4. write a proportion to find how far you would walk in an hour if you were to continue at the same rate.

Answer 1

Distance traveled in 35 minute = 2 miles.

So distance traveled in one minute = 2/35 (miles/minute)
= 0.0572 miles / minute.

So distance traveled in one hour , we can find by multiplying it from 60.Because in one hour there is 60 minute.

SO distance traveled in one hour = 0.0572 * 60
= 3.432 miles / hour.
