Clarissa cycled at 12 1/2 %C2%A0miles per hour for 2 1/2 %C2%A0hours. How far did she travel?
To find the distance Clarissa traveled, we can multiply her speed (in miles per hour) by the time she traveled (in hours).
First, let's convert 12 1/2% miles per hour to a decimal.
12 1/2% is equivalent to 12.5%. To convert a percent to a decimal, divide by 100.
12.5% ÷ 100 = 0.125
Now, we can multiply her speed in decimal form (0.125) by the time she traveled.
0.125 miles/hour × 2.5 hours = 0.3125 miles
Therefore, Clarissa traveled 0.3125 miles.
