It takes Beth 15 minutes to walk to school, 1/2 mile away. What is her walking pace?
She walks 1 mile in 30 minutes, so she must walk 2 miles an hour.
i love math I'd love to solve
it takes 0.08
I would say its 0.08 cause if you cross multiply.
To find Beth's walking pace, we need to calculate the speed at which she walks. The walking pace is generally measured in miles per hour (mph) or minutes per mile.
To calculate the walking pace, we can use the formula:
Pace = Distance / Time
In this case, the distance is given as 1/2 mile and the time is given as 15 minutes. Let's substitute these values into the formula:
Pace = 1/2 mile / 15 minutes
Now, let's simplify the equation:
Pace = 1/2 mile / (15/1) minutes
= 1/2 mile * (1/15) minutes
= 1/30 mile per minute
Therefore, Beth's walking pace is 1/30 mile per minute.
