Question

Mine hiked Big Bear Lake in 4.5 hours at an average rate of 3 and 1/5 miles per hour. Pedro hiked the same distance at a rate of 3 and 3/5 miles per hour. How long did it take Pedro to reach the lake?

Answer step by step as shown in the picture with work.

Answer 1

First blank from left in step 1 =
`(16)/(5)`

Second blank in step 1 = 14.4

First blank from left in step 2 = 14.4

second blank from left in step 2 =
`(18)/(5)`

third blank in step 2 = 4

Explanation:

STEP 1 :-

4.5h ×
`(16)/(5)` miles per hour = 14.4 miles

STEP 2 :-

As the total miles will be same, so;

14.4 miles ÷
`(18)/(5)` miles per hour = 4 hour
