If Leah walks 5 miles in 60 minutes, then Leah will walk how far in 110 minutes if she walks at the same speed the whole time? If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth of a mile.
60 / 5 = 12
She walks 1 mile in 12 minutes
110 / 12 = _____ miles in 110 minutes
To find out how far Leah will walk in 110 minutes, we can set up a proportion using the information given.
Let's define the distance Leah walks in 110 minutes as "x."
We know that Leah walks 5 miles in 60 minutes. So, we can say:
5 miles / 60 minutes = x miles / 110 minutes
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
60 * x = 5 * 110
Now, let's solve for x:
60x = 550
Divide both sides of the equation by 60:
x = 550 / 60
x ≈ 9.2
Therefore, Leah will walk approximately 9.2 miles in 110 minutes if she walks at the same speed the whole time.
