Question

I am visiting my friend Janette in Bristol. My journey takes a total time of 1 hour 26 minutes. I travel by train for 34 minutes, then walk at a rate of 1/2 mile per 10 minutes. How many miles do I walk for?

Answer 1

2.6 miles

Explanation:

1 hour 26 minutes= 86 minutes

86-34=52 total walk time

52 minutes= 5*1/2 miles

=2.5 miles walked

and 2 minutes.

so we need to find 1/5 of 1/2

(1/2)/5=0.1 mile

2.5+0.1=2.6 miles
