Dividing Fractions and Explaining How You Solved the Problem

Question

So far, the Rabun family has traveled 30 miles in 1/2 hour. If it is currently 3:00 and their destination is 75 miles away from them, at what time will the Rabun family reach their destination? Explain how you solved the problem.

Answer 1

The Rabuns' speed is 30 miles / 1/2 hour = 60 mph

They still need 75 miles/ 60 mph = 1.25 hour to reach their destination, which means they will need 1 hour plus 15 minutes to walk/run to the final location, so they will be there at 4:15.
