Question

If a person walks 1/4 mile in 10 minutes, how far will that person walk in one hour?

Answer 1

1 and 1/2 mile

Explanation:

The equation would be 1/4 times 6/1 because 60 divided by 10 is 6

1/4 times 6/1 is 6/4

simplified the answer is 1 and 1/2

Answer 2

1.5 miles

Explanation:

1.5 miles

Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, the person will walk 60/10 = 6 times as much in 1 hour. If that person can walk 1/4 mile in 10 minutes, she will walk (1/4)*6 = 1.5 miles in 1 hour.
