Question

If a person walks 2.4 miles in1.5 hours, how far can he walk in 3 hours

Answer 1

1.5 hours is half of 3
so 1.5+1.5=3 and 2.4+2.4=4.8
That person can walk 4.8 miles in 3 hours
Hope I helped :)

Answer 2

Answer: The person can walk 4.8 miles in 3 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:Given :

A person walks 2.4 miles in 1.5 hours.

Then, the ratio of distance to time =
`(Distance )/(time)=(2.4\ miles)/(1.5\ hours)` (1)

Let x be the distance he waked in 3 hours.

Then, the ratio of distance to time =
`(Distance )/(time)=(x\ miles)/(3\ hours)` (2)

We assume that he moves at constant rate, then from (1) and (2) , we have

`(x)/(3)=(2.4)/(1.5)`

Multiply 3 on both sides , we get

`x=(2.4)/(1.5)* 3=4.8`

Hence, the person can walk 4.8 miles in 3 hours.
