Question

how many minietes would it take to get 3/4 of a mile if im walking at a speed of 2 1/2 miles per hour

Answer 1

Kayla,

 

You have to walk 3/4 mile or 0.75 mile

You are walking at a speed of 2.5 mph 

since speed = distance/time

time is 0.75/2.5 = 0.3 hrs

Converting to minutes it is 0.3 * 60 = 18 minutes
