Question

Azlyn can ride her horse 15.2 miles per hour. She is in an endurance race that is 76 miles

long! How long should this race take her to complete?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Remember, math is a language

when you see per think fractions

15.2 miles per hour = 15.2 miles / 1 hour

since this is a fraction, Units can cancel just like numbers

To cancel miles and be left with hours rearrange the fraction

1 hour / 15.2 miles

then multiply by 72 miles

`(1hour)/(15.2miles) * 72miles`

the miles cancel and youre left with hours!

so youd write and solve 72 / 15.2
