Question

Amanda can jog 18 miles in 5 hours.

At this rate, how many miles can Amanda jog in 4 hours?

Answer 1

14.4 miles

Explanation:

To answer this question you first need to find out what Amanda can jog in 1 hour. I can do this by dividing by 5, since the question tells me that she jogs 18 miles in 5 hours. So, I do 18 divided by 5, which gives me 3.6. I now know that in one hour, she can jog 3.6 miles.

The next step is to multiply by 4, because I want to know what she can do in 4 hours. So, I do 3.6 multiplied by 4, which gives me 14.4. I now know she can jog 14.4 miles in 4 hours, which is my final answer,

Answer 2

14.4

Explanation:

Divide 18 miles by 5 hours to tell us how many miles she can do in 1 hour.

Multiply the answer by 4 to tell us how many miles in 4 hours.

(18/5) * 4 = 14.4 Miles
