Suppose you walk 3 miles in 1.5 hours. How far would you walk in 1 hour?

Question

how to work the problem and solve it to get the answer step by step

Answer 1

First let's find the speed of the motion. Speed is (distance/time) so we can do (3 miles / 1.5 hours). Reducing the fraction 3/1.5 gives us 2/1, or (2 miles / 1 hour). Multiply this speed by time (in this case 1 hour) and you find that you would walk 2 miles in 1 hour.
