Question

Alex can run 5/4 miles in 1/12 hour. At this rate, how far can he run in 1 hour?

Answer 1

Answer: 15 miles

If he can already run 5/4 miles in 1/12 of an hour, we multiply.

First, let's simplify 5/4 to make it easier.

5/4 = 1 1/4.

Alex ran 1 1/4 miles in 1/12 of a hour.

Now, let's multiply 1 1/4 by 12.

1 1/4 x 12 = 15.

Answer = 15 miles. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

15 miles in one hour

Explanation:

Since we know that we need twelve 1/12 hours to make one full hour, we can multiply.

5/4 * 12

5/4 * 12/1

60/4

15

Best of Luck!
