Question

Laura decides to walk to her job. She walks 1 1/2 miles in 3/5 hour. What is Laura’s walking rate? Laura Job is 4 1/2 Miles away if she starts walking tour job at 9:00 AM and schedule to start working at 11:00 AM will she arrive at her job on time

Answer 1

1.5 miles/ .6 hours =  2.5 miles per hour

her walking rate is 2.5 miles per hour

d= r * t

4.5 miles = 2.5 * t

divide each side by 3.5

4.5 /2.5 = t

1.8 = t

t = 1.8 hours

11 am  - 9 am = 2 hours

She will make it to work on time because 1.8  hours < 2 hours
