Question

Marshall walks 2 miles in 2/3 of an hour. How many miles can he walk in one hour

Answer 1

Hello!

Answer:

`\Large \boxed{\sf 3 ~miles}`

Explanation:

→ We want how many miles can he walk in one hour.

→ We know that Marshall walks 2 miles in 2/3 of an hour.

→ We know that 2/3 hour is equal to 40 minutes.

→ So, we have this table:

Distance (miles) 2 x

Time (minutes) 40 60

→ To solve x, let's apply the method of the cross:

`\sf x = 2 * 60 / 40`

→ Simplify the equation:

`\boxed{\sf x =3}`

Conclusion:

Marshall walks 3 miles in 1 hour.
