Question

Angelo enters a relay race. He runs 8 1/2 mile every 1/2 hour. Create and

complete a table to determine how many miles he will run in 1 hour, 2 hours, 2 1/2
hours, 3 hours,etc go to 5 hours.

Answer 1

1 Hour = 17 miles

2 Hours = 34 miles

3 Hours = 51 miles

4 Hours = 68 miles

5 Hours = 85 miles

Explanation:

Every half hour is 8.5 miles, so for every hour you multiply 8.5 by a factor of 2. So 1 hour would be 8.5 x 2, 2 hours would be 8.5 x 4, and so on.
