Question

Robert walks 1.5 miles every day. If he walks 1/8 miles in 5 minutes, how long will it take him to walk the whole distance? (Choose your own strategy)

Answer 1

Answer:

60 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

lets establish 8/8 = 1. half of 8/8 = 4/8 which means 4/8 = 0.5. 1 + 0.5 = 1.5 therefore 8/8 + 4/8 = 12/8. so 1.5 = 12/8. if 1/8 = 5 then 12/8 = (5 * 12). 5 times 12 is 60. therefore 60 minutes.

Answer 2

I think you have to divide 5 and 1/8( you can download a fraction calculator) which is 40(sorry if this is wrong)
