Question

Cody can walk 1/3​ of a mile in 1/6​ of an hour. How many miles can he walk in 2 1/3 hours ​if he continues at the same pace?

Do not enter as a mixed number or a decimal, use an improper fraction.

Answer 1

Answer: 14/3 miles

1/3 mile = 1/6 hour

2 1/3 hours can be converted to 7/3 (2x3=6, 6+1 = 7), which can be converted to sixths by multiplying 7 and 3 by 2 (7x2=14, 3x2=6) and getting 14/6.

Since 1/3 of a mile is equivalent to 1/6 of an hour, 14/6 hours is 14/3 because 14x1=14.

Answer 2

Answer: 14/3 miles

Step-by-step explanation: Miles divided by hours gives speed

1/3÷1/6 = 2 mph

Distance= speed × time

2 1/3 is 7/3 7/3×2 = 14/3
