Answer:the distance to work is 1 mile and you can walk at 4 miles per hour, then you can walk 1 mile in ¼ hr = 15 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Dylan,
If the distance to work is 1 mile and you can walk at 4 miles per hour, then you can walk 1 mile in ¼ hr = 15 minutes.
To set up the "equation" think about it this way: (1 mile/ t) = (4 mile/ 1 hr)
so 1/t = 4/1 hr
now multiply both sides by t to get 1 = t·(4/1 hr), next divide both sides by (4/1 hr)
t = 1/(4/ 1 hr) = 1 hr/4 = ¼ hr = 15 min.
The answer is 15 minutes because if he can walk 4 miles for only an hour and we know that an hour is 60 minutes
4. 60m
1. 15m
So what I have done there is just divide it by 4 to get one mile and divide 60 by 4 to get the 15 minutes
