Question

Nick walked 3/4 of a mile in 12 minutes.How long would it take him to walk three miles at this pace

Answer 1

45

Explanation:

I love math, so this was fun! First, we need to know how long it would take him to walk 1 mile. We know it took 12 minutes to walk 3/4 of a mile, so we just need to figure out how long each quater is. For this problem, each quarter of a mile is 3 minutes, and so we just need to multiply that by 4. then, we know it would take him 15 mintues to walk a mile. Then, just multiply that by 3! Hope this helps, sorry I can't spell :)

Answer 2

48 minutes

Explanation:

First do 3 divided by 3/4 and that gives you 4. Then multiply 4 by 12 and you get 48.
