On a hike, Peter and Jamie walked 3 1/8 hours at 2 1/2 miles per hour. how far did they walk?
To find out the total distance they walked, you can multiply the time taken by the speed:
Distance = Time * Speed
In this case, Peter and Jamie walked for 3 1/8 hours at a speed of 2 1/2 miles per hour.
Converting 3 1/8 to an improper fraction, we get 25/8.
Let's do the calculation:
Distance = (25/8) * (5/2) = (25*5) / (8*2) = 125/16
The distance they walked is 125/16 miles.
Can u convert 125/16 to a proper fraction?
Sure! To convert 125/16 to a mixed number or a proper fraction, we divide the numerator (125) by the denominator (16) and express the result as a mixed number.
125 divided by 16 equals 7 with a remainder of 13. Therefore, the mixed number is 7 13/16.
