Question

Sheila walked 2/5 of a mile in 3/4 of an hour at this rate how many miles would she walk in an hour

Answer 1

Explanation:

You are given miles and hours and want miles/hr

soooo..... ( 2/5 mile ) / ( 3/4 hour) = 8/15 m/hr

she can walk 8/15 of a mile in an hour

Answer 2

To determine the number of miles Sheila would walk in an hour, we need to calculate her walking rate based on the given information.

Sheila walked 2/5 of a mile in 3/4 of an hour.

To find her walking rate, we divide the distance walked by the time taken:

Walking rate = Distance / Time

Walking rate = (2/5) mile / (3/4) hour

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:

Walking rate = (2/5) mile * (4/3) hour

Simplifying the calculation:

Walking rate = (8/15) mile/hour

Therefore, Sheila would walk 8/15 of a mile in one hour.
