Question

Helena walks each evening. Each mile she walks takes her 15 minutes. Complete the table to show how far she travels for the first 5 miles

Answer 1

To determine how far Helena travels for the first 5 miles based on her pace of 15 minutes per mile, we create a table by multiplying the number of miles by the time per mile, resulting in 15, 30, 45, 60, and 75 minutes for 1 to 5 miles respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question is about calculating how far Helena travels each evening based on the time it takes her to walk a mile. Helena walks a mile in 15 minutes, so to complete a table showing how far she travels for the first 5 miles, we need to multiply each mile by the time it takes to walk it.

1. 1 mile x 15 minutes/mile = 15 minutes
2. 2 miles x 15 minutes/mile = 30 minutes
3. 3 miles x 15 minutes/mile = 45 minutes
4. 4 miles x 15 minutes/mile = 60 minutes (or 1 hour)
5. 5 miles x 15 minutes/mile = 75 minutes (or 1 hour and 15 minutes)

So, the complete table would show that Helena takes 15 minutes for the first mile, 30 minutes for two miles, 45 minutes for three miles, 60 minutes (or 1 hour) for four miles, and 75 minutes (or 1 hour and 15 minutes) for five miles.
