Jeremy can run 2 miles in 3/4 hours. At this rate, how many miles can he run in 5 hours

1.875 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

easier way

2 miles in 3/4 hours

so

2 miles / .75 hours = 5 miles / x hours

solve for x

(5*.75)/2 = x

x=1.875

or

harder way

you could turn hours into minutes

2 miles in 45 mins

so

2 miles / 45 mins = 5 miles / x mins

solve for x

(5*45)/2 = x

x= 112.5 mins

but they want answer in hours so turn mins into hours by diving by 60

112.5/60 = 1.875 hours

i think 5 miles per hour
