Question

Hilda runs 2/3 of a mile and then half hour if she continues to run at a constant rate how many miles would she run in 3 hours

Answer 1

I assume she runs 2/3 of a mile is half an hour.
We can use a proportion to solve this problem.


`((2)/(3)~mile)/(0.5~hour) = (x)/(3~hours)`


`0.5x = (2)/(3) * 3`


`0.5x = 2`


`x = 4`

Answer: In 3 hours, she would run 4 miles.
