On a hike, Peter and Jamie walked 3 1/8 hours at 2 1/2 miles per hour. how far did they walk?

Answer 1

To find out the total distance they walked, you can multiply the time taken by the speed:

Distance = Time * Speed

In this case, Peter and Jamie walked for 3 1/8 hours at a speed of 2 1/2 miles per hour.

Converting 3 1/8 to an improper fraction, we get 25/8.

Let's do the calculation:

Distance = (25/8) * (5/2) = (25*5) / (8*2) = 125/16

The distance they walked is 125/16 miles.

Answer 2

Can u convert 125/16 to a proper fraction?

Answer 3

Sure! To convert 125/16 to a mixed number or a proper fraction, we divide the numerator (125) by the denominator (16) and express the result as a mixed number.

125 divided by 16 equals 7 with a remainder of 13. Therefore, the mixed number is 7 13/16.
