To find out how far a person can walk in 3 hours based on walking 2.4 miles in 1.5 hours, we can use a proportion to solve it.
First, let's set up the proportion:
distance walked in 1.5 hours / time taken in 1.5 hours = distance walked in 3 hours / time taken in 3 hours
We know that the distance walked in 1.5 hours is 2.4 miles, so we replace the corresponding values:
2.4 miles / 1.5 hours = distance walked in 3 hours / 3 hours
To find the unknown distance, we can cross-multiply and solve for it:
(2.4 miles * 3 hours) / 1.5 hours = distance walked in 3 hours
Calculating this equation gives us:
(7.2 miles * 3 hours) / 1.5 hours = distance walked in 3 hours
The time units will cancel out, leaving us with:
7.2 miles / 1.5 = distance walked in 3 hours
Simplifying the division gives us:
4.8 miles = distance walked in 3 hours
So, the person can walk approximately 4.8 miles in 3 hours.
3*2.4=?
