A manatee you can swim 5 miles in 1 1/4 hour. If the manatees swims at the same average speed, how far can swim in one hour?
(sorry i keep misspelling because im not actually typing im using the microphone on my phone)
It's not working. Your post still makes no sense.
oml i really need to check for mistakes more often ugh
To find out how far the manatee can swim in one hour, you need to calculate its average speed.
First, convert the given time from 1 1/4 hour to a decimal.
1 1/4 hour = 1 + 1/4 hour = 4/4 + 1/4 hour = 5/4 hour
Now, divide the distance traveled (5 miles) by the time taken (5/4 hour) to find the average speed:
Average speed = Distance / Time
= 5 miles / (5/4) hour
To divide by a fraction, you multiply by its reciprocal:
Average speed = 5 miles × (4/5 hour)
= (5 × 4) miles / 5 hour
= 20 miles / 5 hour
Now, simplify the fraction:
Average speed = 4 miles/hour
Therefore, the manatee can swim 4 miles in one hour.
