Martina walked 3/4 of a mile in 3/5 of an hour at this rate how far can Martina walk in one hour?

Question

A. 1 1/4
B. 1 2/3
C. 9/20
D. 4/5

Answer 1

To find out how far Martina can walk in one hour, we need to divide the distance she walked in 3/5 of an hour by 3/5.

Distance walked in 3/5 of an hour = 3/4 mile

Distance walked in 1 hour = (3/4 mile) / (3/5 hour)

When we divide a fraction by another fraction, we multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

(3/4 mile) * (5/3 hour) = 15/12 mile

Simplifying the fraction, we get:

15/12 mile = 5/4 mile

So, Martina can walk 5/4 mile in one hour.

The answer is A. 1 1/4 mile.
