Miguel hiked 3 miles in 54 minutes. at this rate, how long will it take him to hike 5 miles?

Answer 1

3 miles = 54 minutes so
1 mile = (54 : 3) = 18 minutes and
5 miles = (18 x 5) = 90 minutes

So the answer will be "90 minutes"

Answer 2

For 5 miles Miguel takes 90 minutes.

Explanation:

As given

Miguel hiked 3 miles in 54 minutes.

i.e

3 miles = 54 minUtes

`(54)/(3)\ minutes = 1\ miles`

18 minutes = 1 miles

Thus

For 1 miles Miguel takes 18 minutes.

Now calculated for 5 miles.

`Time\ taken\ for\ 5\ miles = 18* 5`

`Time\ taken\ for\ 5\ miles =90\ minutes`

Therefore for 5 miles Miguel takes 90 minutes.
