Question

Lin ran 2 3/4 miles in 2/5 of an hour, Noah ran 8 2/3 miles in 4/3 of an hour, how far would NOah run in 1 hour?

Answer 1

Explanation:

6.5

Answer 2

The distance cover by Noah in 1 hour to cover distance is 6.5 miles

Explanation:

Given as :

The distance cover by Lin = 2
`(3)/(4)` miles =
`(11)/(4)` miles

The time taken to cover distance by Lin =
`(2)/(5)` hours

Again

The distance cover by Noah = 8
`(2)/(3)` miles =
`(26)/(3)` miles

The time taken to cover distance by Noah =
`(4)/(3)` hours

Let the distance cover by Noah in 1 hour = d miles

∵ The distance cover by Noah in
`(4)/(3)` hours =
`(26)/(3)` miles

∴ The distance cover by Noah in 1 hour =
`((26)/(3))/((4)/(3))`

I.e d =
`(26* 3)/(4* 3)` miles

or, d =
`(13)/(2)` = 6.5 miles

So, The distance cover by Noah in 1 hour = d = 6.5 miles

Hence, The distance cover by Noah in 1 hour to cover distance is 6.5 miles Answer
