Answer:
6/15 miles in an hour.
Explanation:
Hi!
I can help here.
So basically lets see what we have :
2/15 a mile in 20 minutes
And we are being asked :
How much will they pave in a hour, in miles.
So we need to take the 2 from the 2/15 since that is how much they have done in 20 minutes.
It is important to note that in a hour there is 60 minutes.
So an easy thing to do is take the 60 and divide it by 20 to find how many 20's go into 60.
60/20
=
3
So we now can take this 3 and the 2 in 2/15 and multiply.
3 x 2
=
6
So now it is
6/15
And that is your answer.
6/15 miles in an hour.
Remember you can simplify,
2/5
I hope this helps!
