Emily can walk 3/4 of a mile in 1/4 of an hour at this same rate how long does it take Emily to walk 1 mile

Answer 1

Since Emily is walking at a constant speed, we can solve this using proportions, equating ratios of distance/time.

The first ratio is 3/4 miles/1/4 hour

The second ratio is 1 mile/ x hour

Equating the two ratios: 3/4 / 1/4 = 1/x

3 = 1/x

x = 1/3 hour
