Question

Jesse loves to go hiking on rustic trails through trees and along rivers. One day in 20 minutes of hiking she hiked 1 mile. If Jesse hike at a constant rate what would the rate be

Answer 1

0.05 mile per minutes

Explanation:

Jesse's rate of hiking (miles per minute) = Total miles covered / Time covered

Miles covered = 1 mile

Time covered = 20 minutes

Jesse's rate of hiking (miles per minute) = Total miles covered / Time covered(minutes)

= 1 mile / 20 minutes

= 0.05 mile per minutes

20 minutes

= 20 × 60 seconds

= 1200 seconds

Jesse's rate of hiking (miles per seconds) = Total miles covered / Total time taken (seconds)

= 1 mile / 1200 seconds

= 0.0008333333333 miles per seconds

Approximately 0.000833 miles per seconds
