Question

A person walks 1/3 of a mile every half hour. How far
would the person walk in 2
hours?

Answer 1

The person will walk 1 1/3 miles in 2 hours.

Explanation:

There are 4 half-hours in 2 hour

1/3*4=4/3 or 1 1/3 miles

Answer 2

1 1/3 miles

Explanation:

1/3 is for a half-mile, so double it to 2/3 for one mile.

Now double it again for two hours.

2/3 + 2/3 = 1 1/3 miles in two hours
