Answer 1

3.9 miles 0.72 hours -------------- X ---------------- 1 hour 1 multiply across, 3.9x0.72=2.808 miles

Answer 2

Answer: 2.808 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Marta walked in 1 hour = 3.9 miles (rate of walking per hour)

The number of hours Marts walked = 0.72 hour

To find the distance walked by Marta we need to multiply the distance traveled in 1 hour (rate of walking per hour) by 0.72 hour, we get

The distance walked by Marta=$3.9\times0.72$ miles

Therefore, the distance walked by Marta=2.808 miles
