Question

Marshall walks 2 miles in 2/3 of an hour. How many miles can he walk in one hour?

(show work please)

Answer 1

3 miles

Explanation:

2/3 hour = 2 miles

Divide by two to work out how much he does in 1/3 of an hour

1/3 hour = 2 miles / 2 = 1 mile

Multiple by 3 to work out how much he does in 1 hour

3/3 hour = 1 hour = 1 mile * 3 = 3 miles
