Question

In a bicycle race, Milo travels 1/4 mile every 1/6 hour. Juan travels 3/4 mile every 1/3 hour. How much farther does Juan travel per hour than Milo?

Answer 1

Julie runs 1 1/2 miles or 3/2 miles in 1/3 hour

Explanation:

Julie runs x miles in 1 hour

So here the ratio will be,

3/2 : 1/3 = x: 1

3/2 ÷ 1/3 = x ÷ 1

x = 3/2 × 3/1

x = 9/2

Hence, Julie will run 9/2 or 4 1/2 miles per hour
