Question

working on Rates with fraction's, how many steps did he average per minute?Robert climbed 775 steps in 12 and 1/2 minutes

Answer 1

62 steps per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of steps he climbed per minute be x.

If Robert climbed 775 steps in 12 and 1/2 minutes, let's go ahead and determine many steps he took per minute by setting up the question as a proportion;

`\begin{gathered} \frac{775\text{ steps}}{12.5\text{ minutes}}=\frac{x\text{ steps}}{1\text{ minute}} \\ 12.5x=775 \\ x=(775)/(12.5) \\ x=62\text{steps} \end{gathered}`
