Natalie walked 3/5 miles in 1/2 hour. how fast did she walk, in miles per hour

Answer 1

Miles per hour is a ratio and means miles divided by hours.

3/5 miles ÷ 1/2 hour is 3/5 x 2/1 = 6/5 = 1 1/5 mph.

She walks twice as far in one hour as she does in 1/2 hour.

In decimals it's 0.6/0.5 = 1.2 mph
