Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following:
Blue troop:
Hikes 2/3 miles every 1/2 hour
Yellow troop:
Hikes 3/4 miles every 1/3 hour
How long does it take each troop to walk 1 1/2 miles, 1/2 mile, and 3/4 mile?
To hike 1 1/2 miles
Blue troop:
2/3 miles = 1/2 hours
3/2 miles = x
2/3x = 3/4
x = 3/4*3/2
x= 9/8 = 1 1/8 hours
Yellow troop:
3/4 = 1/3 hours
3/2 = x
3/4x = 3/6
x = 3/6*4/3
x = 12/18 = 2/3 hours
To hike 1/2 mile:
Blue troop:
2/3 miles = 1/2 hours
1/2 miles = x
2/3x = 1/4
x = 1/4 * 3/2
x = 3/8 hours
Yellow troop:
3/4 = 1/3 hours
1/2 = x
3/4x = 1/6
x = 1/6 * 4/3
x = 4/18 = 2/9 hours
To hike 3/4 miles :
Blue troop: 2/3 miles = 1/2 hours
3/4 miles = x
2/3x = 3/8
x = 3/8 3/2
x = 9/16 hours
Yellow troop:
3/4 = 1/3 hours
3/4 = x
3/4x = 3/12
x = 1/4 * 4/3
x = 4/12
x = 1/3 hours
Hope it Helps army!
Your answer is 1/3 hour
Hope it Helps yaa!
