Answer:
He will walk 11.25 miles in 2.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
A speed walker covered 6 3/4 mi in 1 1/2 hour.
[tex]6\frac{3}{4}\ miles =1\frac{1}{2}\ hours[/tex]
This can be written as:
[tex]\frac{27}{4}\ miles =\frac{3}{2}\ hours[/tex]
Multiply both the sides by 2/3.
[tex]\frac{27}{4}\times \frac{2}{3}\ miles =\frac{3}{2}\times \frac{2}{3}\ hours[/tex]
[tex]4.5\ miles =1\ hours[/tex]
We need to find how far will he walk with the same pace in 2.5 hours.
Multiply both the sides by 2.5
[tex]4.5\times 2.5\ miles =1\times 2.5\ hours[/tex]
[tex]11.25\ miles =2.5\ hours[/tex]
Hence, he will walk 11.25 miles in 2.5 hours
