Question

I can walk 160 m/min. If I want to cover a distance of 9600 meters, how long will it take me?

Answer 1

Here are the steps tro solving the question.

1) Set up a proportion. We need to find how long (minutes) it would take to walk a specific distance (9600 m) based on the fact that the person can walk 160 m in 1 minute.

160m = 9600m

1 min x min

2) Next, cross multiple and solve for X.

160X = 9600(1)

160X = 9600

160 160

X = 60

The answer is 60 minutes.
