Clarissa cycled at 12 1/2 miles per hour for 2 1/2 hours. How far did she travel?

Answer 1

To find the distance Clarissa traveled, you need to multiply her speed by the time she cycled.

12 1/2 miles per hour can also be written as 25/2 miles per hour.

The time she cycled is 2 1/2 hours.

To find the distance, you multiply the speed (25/2) by the time (2 1/2):

(25/2) * (2 1/2) = (25/2) * (5/2) = 125/4 = 31 1/4.

So, Clarissa traveled 31 1/4 miles.
