divide. if the southside band can march 1 3/4 miles per hour, how long will it take them to parade along a 6-mile route? 3 3/7 hours 10 1/2 hours 8 hours 6 3/4 hours
3 3/7 hrs (or 24/7 hrs)
1 3/4 miles/hr
7/4 miles/hr
6 = 6/1
6/1 /(7/4)
6/1*(4/7)
24/7 = 3 3/7
Answer:
\(3\frac{3}{7}\text{ hours}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The south side band can march \(1\frac{3}{4}\) miles per hour,
That is, the speed of the band = \(1\frac{3}{4}\) miles per hour,
The distance of route = 6 miles,
So, the time taken by band to parade in a route = \(\frac{\text{The distance of route}}{\text{speed of band}}\)
\(=\frac{6}{1\frac{3}{4}}\)
\(=\frac{6}{\frac{7}{4}}\)
\(=\frac{24}{7}\)
\(=3\frac{3}{7}\text{ hours}\)
First option is correct.
