Rose hiked 2.6 miles in 2.8 hours. At that rate, how long would it take her to hike 2/5 of a mile.

Answer 1

x/(2/5) = 2.8/2.6 = 14/13

x = (14/13)(2/5) = 28/65 hr = about 26 minutes to run 2/5 of a mile

x/.4 = 2.8/2.6= 14/13

x = (4/10)(14/13) = 56/130 = 28/65 = less than 1/2 hour

28/65 x 60 = 28/13 x 12 = about 25.86 minutes
