Question

Kasie likes to jog every morning before work. She can jog 3 miles in 30 minutes, if she

continues to jog at the same rate, how many miles can she run in 2 hours?

Answer 1

The answer is 12 miles

Explanation:

30 minutes is half an hour.

If 30 minutes is half an hour then, 2 hours is 120 minutes.

3 miles in this problem is 30 minutes, so 120 divided by 30 is 4 and 4x3 is 12.

Answer 2

12 miles

Explanation:

3 miles per 30 minutes

2 hours is made of 4 30 minutes, so 3 x 4 = 12
