Answer 1

2.0

Explanation:

Answer 2

B. 2.0 miles

Explanation:

Tony ran 1/2 of a mile for 1/4 of an hour.

First, to make it easier, change each fraction into decimals:

1/2 = 0.5

1/4 = 0.25

It takes Tony 0.25 hours to run 0.5 miles.

You are solving for 1 hours worth. Multiply 4 to both terms:

0.25 hr x 4 = 1 hr

0.5 miles x 4 = 2.0 miles

B. 2.0 miles is your answer.
