Question

If Lawrence walked 12 miles in 6 hours at a steady pace, how far did he walk in 30 minutes?

A) 1/4 mile
B) 1/2 mile
C) 1 mile
D 2 miles​

Answer 1

C) 1 mile

Explanation:

To find out how far Lawrence walked in 30 minutes, we can use the formula:

Distance = (Speed) * (Time)

We know that Lawrence walked 12 miles in 6 hours at a steady pace, which means his speed was:

Speed = Distance / Time

Speed = 12 miles / 6 hours

Speed = 2 miles per hour

Now, we want to find the distance Lawrence walked in 30 minutes (0.5 hours):

Distance = Speed * Time

Distance = 2 miles per hour * 0.5 hours

Distance = 1 mile

So, Lawrence walked 1 mile in 30 minutes.

The correct answer is: C) 1 mile.
