Grace ran a 26-mile marathon in 4 hours. How far did Grace run in 1.5 hours?(1 point) Responses 156 miles 156 miles 9.75 miles 9.75 miles 4.33 miles 4.33 miles 69.33 miles
To find out how far Grace ran in 1.5 hours, we need to divide the total distance of 26 miles by the total time of 4 hours.
26 miles / 4 hours = 6.5 miles/hour
Now, we can multiply the speed of 6.5 miles/hour by 1.5 hours to find out the distance Grace ran in 1.5 hours.
6.5 miles/hour * 1.5 hours = 9.75 miles
Therefore, Grace ran 9.75 miles in 1.5 hours.
To find out how far Grace ran in 1.5 hours, we can use the concept of proportion.
Let's set up the proportion: miles/time = miles/time
We know that Grace ran 26 miles in 4 hours, so:
26 miles/4 hours = x miles/1.5 hours
To find x, we can cross-multiply and solve for x:
4 hours * x miles = 26 miles * 1.5 hours
4x = 39 miles
Dividing both sides of the equation by 4, we get:
x = 9.75 miles
Therefore, Grace ran 9.75 miles in 1.5 hours.
To find out how far Grace ran in 1.5 hours, we can use the formula:
Distance = (Time taken ÷ Total Time) × Total Distance
In this case, the total time Grace spent running the marathon is 4 hours, and the total distance she ran is 26 miles. We can substitute these values into the formula:
Distance = (1.5 ÷ 4) × 26
To solve this equation, first divide 1.5 by 4:
Distance = (0.375) × 26
Multiply 0.375 by 26:
Distance = 9.75 miles
Therefore, Grace ran approximately 9.75 miles in 1.5 hours.
