clarissa cycled at 12 1/2 miles per hour 2 1/2 hours how far did she travle

Answer 1

To find out how far Clarissa traveled, we need to multiply her speed (12 1/2 miles per hour) by the time she cycled (2 1/2 hours).

First, let's convert 12 1/2 into an improper fraction: 12 1/2 = 25/2

Now, we can calculate the distance Clarissa traveled:

Distance = Speed × Time
Distance = (25/2) × (5/2)
Distance = 125/4

So, Clarissa traveled 125/4 miles.

Answer 2

simplest form

Answer 3

To express the distance in simplest form, we need to simplify the fractional expression 125/4.

The greatest common divisor (GCD) of 125 and 4 is 1, so we can divide both numerator and denominator by 1 to get the simplified form:

125 ÷ 1 / 4 ÷ 1 = 125/4

Therefore, in simplest form, Clarissa traveled a distance of 125/4 miles.
