Question

It takes Anastasia 50 minutes to walk 3 1/2 miles to the park. At this rate, about how many minutes should it take her to walk 5 miles?

Answer 1

about 71minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

If it takes Anastasia 50 minutes to walk 3 1/2 miles to the park, then;

50 minutes = 3.5 miles

To get the time taken for her to walk 5miles;

x = 5miles

Divide both expressions

50/x = 3.5/5

Cross multiply

3.5x = 50*5

3.5x = 250

x = 250/3.5

x = 71.42miles

Hence it will take her about 71minutes to walk 5miles
