Question

Javier is also kayaking, he can go 1 mild in 2/3 of an hour. How far can he go at this rate in 3 hours?

Answer 1

The distance cover by Javier in 3 hours is 4.5 miles

Explanation:

Given as :

The distance cover by Javier in
`(2)/(3)` hour = 1 mile

Let The distance cover by Javier in 3 hours = x miles

Applying unitary method, we get

∵ In
`(2)/(3)` hour , distance cover by Javier = 1 mile

So, In 1 hour , distance cover by Javier =
`(1)/((2)/(3))` mile =
`(3)/(2)` mile

Or, In 1 hour, distance cover by Javier = 1.5 miles

∴ In 3 hours , distance cover by Javier = 1.5 miles × 3

i.e x = 4.5 miles

So, The distance cover by Javier in 3 hours = x = 4.5 miles

Hence, The distance cover by Javier in 3 hours is 4.5 miles Answer
