The family is hiking in the mountains at a rate of 6 miles every 3 hours How long would it take the family to hike 7.5 miles?
(Hint: You will have a decimal or fraction in your final answer!)

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = 6 miles

Time = 3 hours

Speed = Distance ÷ Time

Speed = 6 ÷ 3

Speed = 2 miles/hour

....................................................

Speed = 2 miles/hour

Distance = 7.5 miles

Time = Distance ÷ Speed

Time = 7.5 ÷ 2

Time = 3.75 hours

3.75 hours = 3 hours & 45 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken to travel 6 miles = 3 hours

Time taken to travel 1 mile = 3 ÷ 6 = = 30 minutes

Time taken to travel 7.5 miles = 30 * 7.5 = 225 minutes = 3.45 hours

1/3

step-by-step explanation:

to find this, you can divide 12 by 4 which is 3 or you can multiply 4 until you reach 12 (4x3=12). both should give you 3, meaning theres three times less bananas than there are oranges.
