Question

lin rode he skateboard 3 miles in 9 minutes. she rode at a constant speed. how far did she go if she only went for 1 minute?

Answer 1

First, break down the problem.

Someone can skate 3 miles in 9 minutes.

What is their speed? How far would they go if they did that speed for 1 minute?

To find speed given time and distance, divide distance by time.

3/9 = 1/3

Speed is 1/3 mile per minute

if they travel one minute, they will travel 1/3 of a mile

hope this helps :)
