Linda can run 1 mile in 9 minutes. How many miles can she run in 1 hour?
Cross multiply and solve for m.
1/9 = m/60
cross multiply
Thank you so much for answering Ms.Sue and Selena. I really appreciate it. I've been stuck on that question for days now and finally figured out how to do it thanks to you guys!!!! Thanks again!!! :):):):):):)
You're welcome.
Wait what is the answer then??
To find out how many miles Linda can run in 1 hour, we can start by figuring out how many minutes are in 1 hour.
Since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, we can divide 1 hour by the time it takes Linda to run 1 mile, which is 9 minutes.
So the calculation would be:
1 hour รท 9 minutes = 6.67 miles
Therefore, Linda can run approximately 6.67 miles in 1 hour.
