Question

Paige rides her bike around town. She can ride one half of a mile in 1 30 ith of an hour. If she continues to ride at the same pace, how many miles could she travel in 1 hour?

Answer 1

Let's look at the given fact:  1/30 hour (2 minutes) corresponds to 1/2 mile.

 

To adjust this *(proportionally) to one hour, multiply both parts of that fact by 30;

thus 1 hour corresponds to half of 30, i.e. 15 miles.
