Eliana swam at 3 1/2 miles per hour for 1/4 an hour. How many miles did she travel ( DO NOT include label)?(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the distance Eliana traveled, we need to multiply her speed (in miles per hour) by the time she swam (in hours).

Speed: 3 1/2 miles per hour
Time: 1/4 hour

Distance = Speed x Time
Distance = (3 1/2) x (1/4)
Distance = 7/2 x 1/4

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together:

Distance = 7/2 x 1/4
Distance = (7 x 1) / (2 x 4)
Distance = 7/8

Therefore, Eliana traveled 7/8 miles.
