Question

Jose can run 1 miles in 1/6 of
an hour. How far can he run
in one hour?

Answer 1

He can run 8 miles in one hour.

Explanation:

We have,

Jose can run 1 1/3 miles in 1/6 of an hour.

We need to find how far he can run in one hour.

`1(1)/(3)\ \text{miles}=(1)/(6)\ \text{hour}`

Now using unitary method,

`1\ \text{hour}=(4)/(3)* 6\ \text{miles}`

or

`1\ \text{hour}=8\ \text{miles}`

So, he can run 8 miles in one hour.
