Question

Noah ran 8 2/3 miles in 4/3 of an hour how far would Noah run in 1

Answer 1

Noah would run
`6(1)/(2)` miles in 1 hour if he ran
`8(2)/(3)` miles in 4/3 hours

To find how far Noah would run in 1 hour

By setting a proportion based on the information given,

If Noah ran 8 2/3 miles in 4/3 of an hour

i.e
`8(2)/(3)` miles = 4/3 hours

How far would Noah run in 1 hour

Let x represent the number of miles Noah would run in 1 hour

If
`8(2)/(3)` miles = 4/3 hours

x miles = 1 hour

Cross multiply

4/3 * x =
`8(2)/(3)` * 1

4x/3 = 26/3

4x * 3 = 26 * 3

12x = 78

x = 78/12

x =
`6 (6)/(12)`

x =
`6(1)/(2)` miles

Therefore, Noah would run
`6(1)/(2)` miles in 1 hour
