Question

If a person walks 1/4 mile in 10 minutes, how far will that person walk in an hour?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.5 miles (or 3/2 miles)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, the person will walk 60/10 = 6 times as much in 1 hour. If that person can walk 1/4 mile in 10 minutes, she will walk (1/4)*6 = 1.5 miles in 1 hour.
