To improve her cardiovascular capacity,Mia wants to increase the distance she walks each day. She now walks 1/2 mile in 8 1/2 minutes. If Mia keeps the same pace, will she be able to walk 1 1/2 miles in less than 1/2 hour?

Answer 1

1.5 = 3 times 1/2

3*8.5 = 25.5 minutes
which luckily is less than 30 minutes
