Meg skateboards 1/4 of a mile in 1/2 of an hour. At this rate, how far will she skateboard in an hour?
Answer:
Meg cover \(\frac{1}{2}\) of a mile by skateboard in an hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Meg skateboards \(\frac{1}{4}\) of a mile in \(\frac{1}{2}\) of an hour.
We have to find how much distance she covered by skateboard in an hour.
Unitary method is a method in which we first find the value of a unit and then multiply the desired quantity with unit value.
Distance covered by Meg in \(\frac{1}{2}\) hour = \(\frac{1}{4}\) of a miles.
so, distance covered in 1 hour is = \(\frac{1}{4}\times 2=\frac{1}{2}\) of a mile.
Thus, Meg cover \(\frac{1}{2}\) of a mile by skateboard in an hour.
