Question

Hendrik is going on a hike. If he can cover 2 miles in an hour, how many hours will it take him to hike 5 1/4 miles?

Answer 1

2 5/8 hours

Explanation:

Distance = 5 1/4 = 21 / 4 miles

Miles per hour = 2 miles per hour

Miles per hour = Distance / Time

Time = Distance / Miles per hour

Time = (21 / 4) miles / 2 miles per hour = 2.625 hours

or 2 hours 37 minutes and 30 seconds

or 2 5/8 hours
