Question

Paul's legs were so long that he could walk 28 miles in just 168 strides. At this rate, how far could he walk with 90 strides?

Answer 1

Paul's stride allows him to walk 0.1667 miles per stride. With 90 strides, he can walk 15 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks about determining the distance Paul can walk with 90 strides given that he walks 28 miles with 168 strides. To solve this, we calculate his rate per stride and then find out how far he can go with 90 strides.

1. First, find the distance of each stride by dividing the total distance by the number of strides:
   Distance per stride = Total distance ÷ Number of strides = 28 miles ÷ 168 strides.
2. Then, calculate the distance he can walk in 90 strides by multiplying the distance per stride by the number of strides (90).

Now, let's calculate the distance one stride covers. We divide 28 miles by 168 strides to get 0.1667 miles per stride. To find out how far Paul can walk with 90 strides, we multiply 0.1667 miles by 90, which equals 15 miles. Therefore, Paul can walk 15 miles with 90 strides.
