Question

Wendy walks 2 miles in 22 minutes. She continues to walk at the same rate. How many minutes will it take her to walk 11 miles? Use a double number line to support your answer.

Answer 1

121 minutes

Explanation:

First, we divide the time by the miles

22 ÷ 2 = 11

So now that we have the unit rate, 1 mile for every 11 minutes, we can multiply 11 (the unit rate minutes) by 11 (the given miles she wants to reach)

11 x 11 = 121

So, in 121 minutes, Wendy can walk 11 miles.

(the double number line will look something like this, but going all the way until 121:11)
