aaron walks from his sisters house to his cousins house, a distanceof 4 miles, in 80 minutes.how far does he walk in 30 minutes

Answer 1

Okay Aaron, he walks 1 mile in 20 minutes. Since we know that, we multiply 1/20 by 3 as the our numerator of 1 represents the mile and the denominator represents the time, he would travel a distance of 3 miles in 60 minutes.
