Problema Solution

You walk 2 miles in 12 hour. At that rate, how long will it take you to walk 3 miles?

Answer provided by our tutors

You walk 2 miles in 12 hour means your rate is:

v = 2/12

v = 1/6 mph

d = 3 mi the distance to walk

t = the time of the 3 mile walk

since v = d/t we have:

3/t = 1/6
