1.6 miles per hour (mph).
How many miles did Maisie walk?
If your answer is a decimal, give it to 1 d.p.

Answer 1

Answer: Maisie walked 6.4 miles.

Explanation:

Since Maisie is walking at a constant pace of 1.6 miles per hour we can set up the following equation:

y = 1.6(x)

In this equation, Y is the number of miles Maisie walked in total and X is the number of hours she walked. All we have to do is plug in 4 hours as x and solve.

y = 1.6(4)

y = 6.4 miles.
