Question

Josiah skateboards from his house to school 3 miles away. It takes him 36 minutes.

How many minutes will it take Josiah to skateboard to his friend Sebastian’s house, which is 2 1/2

miles from school, if he travels at the same rate that he did from his house to school?


In the box below, type the number that goes in the blank.

Answer 1

Using the speed - distance relationship, the number of minutes it will take Josiah to cover a distance of 2.5 miles is 30 minutes.

Calculating Josiah's speed :

• Speed = (distance ÷ time)

Speed = (3 ÷ 36) = 0.08333 miles per minute.

Time taken to cover a distance of 2.5 miles :

• Time taken = (Distance ÷ Speed)

Time taken = (2.5 ÷ 0.08333) = 30 minutes

Therefore, it will take 30 minutes for Josiah to cover a distance of 2.5 Miles
