Question

Kalani has run 4 1/5 miles in 2/3 an hour. If he continues to run at this rate, how many miles will he run in one hour?

Answer 1

Kalani will run 6.3 miles OR 6 3/10 miles.

Explanation:

So first step that I would do is make it easier to understand by converting the fraction to a whole number. 2/3 hour= 40 minutes.

So Kalani runs 4 1/5 miles in 40 minutes.

Then, we convert 4 1/5 to 4.2. Next, I would divide 4.2 by 2 to get how long he ran in 20 minutes. 4.2/2=2.1.

The final step is to add 2.1 and 4.2 and we get 6.3.

Extra step:

But if we need to turn it back into a fraction, it would be 6 3/10

Hope this helps :)
