Question

Lucy walks on time around the lake. She walks for 1.5 hours at an average rate of 3 miles per hour. What is the distance, in miles, around the lake?

Answer 1

distance around the lake is 4.5 miles.

Explanation:

It is given that Lucy walks on time around the lake. She walks for 1.5 hours at an average rate of 3 miles per hour which means time=t= 1.5 hours and speed=s=3 miles per hour, then the distance is given by:

`speed=(distance)/(time)`

`3=(D)/(1.5)`

`3{*}1.5=D`

`D=4.5 miles`

Therefore, the distance around the lake is 4.5 miles.
