Question

A speed walker covered 4 1/2 mi in 3/4 hour. How far will he walk in 3/4 hour if he walks twice slower

Answer 1

Answer:

A speed walker covered 4 1/2 mi in 3/4 hour

⇒ 3/4 hours = 4 1/2 miles

Find the distance covered in 1 hour:

3/4 hours = 4 1/2 miles

3/4 hours = 9/2 miles

1 hour = 9/2 ÷ 3/4 = 9/2 x 4/3 = 6 miles

Find the distance covered in 3.5 hours:

1 hour = 6 miles

3.5 hours = 6 x 3.5 = 21 miles
