Sophia runs twice as fast as her friend Mia. Mia runs 3 mph. How long will it take Sophia to run 6 miles? 9 miles?
6x6 = 36
9x6 = 54
Am I right? If I am not, please help me with the right answer. Thanks
It will take 1 hour for her to run 6 miles and 1 hour 30 minutes to run 9 miles.
Am I right. Thank you.
2 * 3 = 6
Sophia runs 6 miles per hour
How long does it take Sophia to run 6 miles?
Yay! You're right!
You're welcome.
Help me. On this.
To find out how long it will take Sophia to run a certain distance, we need to know her speed.
Given that Sophia runs twice as fast as Mia, we can determine Sophia's speed by doubling Mia's speed. If Mia runs at a speed of 3 mph, then Sophia runs at a speed of 2 times 3 mph, which is 6 mph.
To calculate the time it will take for Sophia to run a distance, we divide the distance by her speed. Let's calculate for the distances you mentioned:
For 6 miles:
Time = Distance / Speed
Time = 6 miles / 6 mph
Time = 1 hour
So it will take Sophia 1 hour to run 6 miles.
For 9 miles:
Time = 9 miles / 6 mph
Time = 1.5 hours
So it will take Sophia 1.5 hours to run 9 miles.
Therefore, your calculations are not correct. The correct answers are:
- It will take Sophia 1 hour to run 6 miles.
- It will take Sophia 1.5 hours to run 9 miles.
