Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:the distance to work is 1 mile and you can walk at 4 miles per hour, then you can walk 1 mile in ¼ hr = 15 minutesStep-by-step explanation:Dylan, If the distance to work is 1 mile and you can walk at 4 miles per hour, then you can walk 1 mile in ¼ hr = 15 minutes. To set up the "equation" think about it this way: (1 mile/ t) = (4 mile/ 1 hr) so 1/t = 4/1 hr now multiply both sides by t to get 1 = t·(4/1 hr), next divide both sides by (4/1 hr) t = 1/(4/ 1 hr) = 1 hr/4 = ¼ hr = 15 min.
