Jose is going for a run. He runs for 3 hours at a speed of 4.8 miles per hour. For how many miles does he run?

3 answers

To find the total distance Jose runs, we need to multiply his speed in miles per hour by the time in hours he runs.

Distance = Speed * Time

Distance = 4.8 miles/hour * 3 hours

Distance = 14.4 miles

Jose runs for a total of 14.4 miles.
A tortoise is walking in the desert. It walks at a speed of 6 meters per minute for 7.68 meters. For how many minutes does it walk?
To find the time it takes for the tortoise to walk a given distance, we need to divide the distance by the speed.

Time = Distance / Speed

In this case, the distance is 7.68 meters and the speed is 6 meters per minute.

Time = 7.68 meters / 6 meters per minute

To calculate this, we divide 7.68 by 6:

Time = 1.28 minutes

Therefore, it takes the tortoise 1.28 minutes to walk a distance of 7.68 meters.
