Clarissa cycled at 12 1/2 miles per hour for 2 ½ hours. How far did she travel?
To find the distance traveled, we need to multiply the speed by the time.
The speed is 12 1/2 miles per hour, which can be written as a mixed number: 12 + 1/2 = 12.5 miles per hour.
The time is 2 1/2 hours, which can also be written as a mixed number: 2 + 1/2 = 2.5 hours.
Now we multiply the speed and time:
12.5 miles/hour * 2.5 hours = <<12.5*2.5=31.25>>31.25 miles.
Therefore, Clarissa traveled 31.25 miles.
Yes, Clarissa traveled a distance of 31 1/4 miles.
31 1/4
To find how far Clarissa traveled, you need to multiply her speed by the time she cycled.
Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions.
12 1/2 can be written as 25/2, and 2 1/2 as 5/2.
Step 2: Multiply the speed by the time.
Multiply 25/2 by 5/2:
(25/2) * (5/2) = (25*5) / (2*2) = 125/4
Step 3: Simplify the fraction.
In this case, the fraction is already in its simplest form, so the distance Clarissa traveled is 125/4 miles.
Therefore, Clarissa traveled 31 1/4 miles (or 31.25 miles).
To find out how far Clarissa traveled, we can multiply her speed by the time she cycled.
Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
12 1/2 can be written as 25/2.
2 1/2 can be written as 5/2.
Step 2: Multiply the speed (25/2) by the time (5/2).
Distance = 25/2 * 5/2
Step 3: Multiply the numerators (25 * 5) to get 125.
Multiply the denominators (2 * 2) to get 4.
Distance = 125/4
Step 4: Simplify the fraction.
125/4 can be simplified to 31 1/4.
Therefore, Clarissa traveled a distance of 31 1/4 miles.
