Two friends are walking on treadmills at the gym. Alden walked 2 miles in 3/4 of an hour. Kira walked 1 3/4 miles in 30 minutes. What is Alden's rate in miles per hour
Please help me
rate = 2 mi / 3/4 hr = 8/3 mph = 2 2/3 mph
To find Alden's rate in miles per hour, we need to divide the distance he walked by the time it took.
Alden walked 2 miles in 3/4 of an hour.
To convert the time to a common unit of hours, we need to change 3/4 of an hour to the decimal form.
To do this, we divide 3 by 4: 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75.
So, 3/4 of an hour is equal to 0.75 hours.
Now we can calculate Alden's rate:
Rate = Distance ÷ Time
Rate = 2 miles ÷ 0.75 hours
Rate = 2.67 miles per hour
Therefore, Alden's rate is 2.67 miles per hour.
