Question

Sam goes on a hike and walks at a pace of 2 1/2 miles per hour

Which rates are equivalent to 2 1/2 miles per hour? select all that apply
A. walking 3/4 of a mile in 3/10 of an hour
B. walking 1 1/2 miles in 3/4 of an hour
C. walking 3/4 of a mile in 1 1/2 hours
D. walking 5/6 of a mile in 1/3 of an hour

Answer 1

the answer is A because 2 1/2 as an improper fraction is 5/2 which is your unit rate of miles per hour. When you divide 3/4 by 3/10 the answer is 2.5 which is 5/2 so it is equal to the unit rate therefore it would be an answer. When you do the same thing with 5/6 and divide it by 1/3 it is also 2.5 so therefore the answers are A and D. Hope this helps dude!
