If they went 5 km in 1 1/2 hours what was their rate?
If they went 5 km in 1 1/2 hours what was their rate?
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.
If they went five km in 1&1/2 hours then their rate would be:
\(\frac{5}{1&1/2}\)= 5÷\(\frac{3}{2}\)= 5×\(\frac{2}{3}\)= \(\frac{10}{3}\)=3\(\frac{1}{3}\)
so 3\(\frac{1}{3}\) km per hour
