Clarissa cycled at 12 1/2 miles per hour for 2 1/2 hours. How far did she travel?
To find the distance Clarissa traveled, you need to multiply her speed by the time she spent cycling.
Her speed was 12 1/2 miles per hour and she cycled for 2 1/2 hours, so the distance she traveled is 12 1/2 miles/hour * 2 1/2 hours = <<12.5*2.5=31.25>>31.25 miles. Answer: \boxed{31.25}.
answer in a fraction like this: number/number
To convert the decimal answer to a fraction, we can rewrite 31.25 as a fraction with a denominator of 1:
31.25 = 31.25/1
To simplify this fraction, we can multiply the numerator and denominator by 100 to remove the decimal:
31.25/1 = 3125/100
So, Clarissa traveled 3125/100 miles, which can be simplified further if necessary.
