Question

If they went 5 km in 1 1/2 hours what was their rate?

Answer 1

If they went five km in 1&1/2 hours then their rate would be:

`(5)/(1&1/2)`= 5÷
`(3)/(2)`= 5×
`(2)/(3)`=
`(10)/(3)`=3
`(1)/(3)`

so 3
`(1)/(3)` km per hour

Answer 2

ratio=number of Km / number of hours

Data:
Number of Km=5 Km
Number of hours=1 1/2 hour=1.5 hour.

Ratio=5 km/1.5 hour=3.333... km/h≈3.33 km/h.

Answer; their ratio was 3.33 Km/h.
