Question

Jonahs and his aunts houses are 8,750 meters apart. Jonahs walking speed is 5 kilometers per hour. How long will it take him to walk from his house to his aunts house? Explain your thinking.

Answer 1

1.75 hours which is 1 hour 45 minutes.

Explanation:

8750 meters = 8750 / 1000

= 8.75 km.

Jonah can walk 5 km in an hour so by proportion it takes 8.75 / 5

= 1.75 hours to walk to his aunt's house.
