HELP ME ASAP!!! PLS!!

The Chu family can hike 3 miles per hour. How long will it take them to hike 15 miles?

A- 3.75 hours
B- 4 hours
C- 4.5 hours
D- 5 hours

Answer 1

D. 5 hours

Explanation:

3 miles per 1 hour so 3/1

15 miles per x hours so 15/x

3/1 = 15/x or 3 = 15/x

get x by itself so

3 divided by 3 and 15 divided by 3

x = 5 hours

Answer 2

D- 5hrs

Explanation:

If the family can hike 3 miles per hour,
for 15 miles: 15/3 = 5 hours.

Every hour they cover 3 miles per hour, so to cover 15 miles, they will take 5 hours
