Clarissa cycled at 12 1/2 %C2%A0miles per hour for 2 1/2 %C2%A0hours. How far did she travel?

Answer 1

To find the distance Clarissa traveled, we can multiply her speed (in miles per hour) by the time she traveled (in hours).

First, let's convert 12 1/2% miles per hour to a decimal.

12 1/2% is equivalent to 12.5%. To convert a percent to a decimal, divide by 100.

12.5% ÷ 100 = 0.125

Now, we can multiply her speed in decimal form (0.125) by the time she traveled.

0.125 miles/hour × 2.5 hours = 0.3125 miles

Therefore, Clarissa traveled 0.3125 miles.
