Answer 1

Chunk will take 54 minutes to walk 3 miles at the same rate as he walks 2.5 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how long it will take Chunk to walk 3 miles at the same rate, we can use a proportion. Since he takes 45 minutes to walk 2.5 miles, we can set up the proportion (45 minutes)/(2.5 miles) = (x minutes)/(3 miles). We can cross multiply to solve for x: 2.5x = 45 * 3. Dividing both sides by 2.5, we get x = 45 * 3 / 2.5, which simplifies to x = 54 minutes.
