Joanna walked 3,000 steps in 24 hours yesterday. How many steps did she walk in 10 hours?

Question

7,200 steps
720,000 steps
12.5 steps
1,250 steps

Answer 1

To find out how many steps Joanna walked in 10 hours, we can set up a proportion using the information given.

Let's call the number of steps Joanna walked in 10 hours "x."

We can set up the proportion:

3000 steps / 24 hours = x steps / 10 hours

To solve for x, we can cross multiply:

24x = 3000 * 10

24x = 30000

x = 30000 /24

x = 1250

Therefore, Joanna walked 1,250 steps in 10 hours.
