PAUL CAN RUN ACROSS HIS HOMETOWN (SYRACUSE, GREECE, EUROPE) IN 3 HOURS. IF HIS TOWN IS 6 MILES WIDE, HOW FAST CAN HE RUN (MEASURED IN MPH)?
rate = distance/time = 6 miles/3 hours = 2 mph
-----------------------------------
HOW FAR COULD HE RUN IN 5 HOURS?
distance = rate*time = 2 mph*5 hrs = 10 miles
-----------------------------------
IF HIS HOMETOWN WAS PHOENIX, WHICH IS 18 MILES WIDE EAST TO WEST, HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE HIM TO RUN ACROSS?
time = distance/rate = 18 miles/2 mph = 9 hours
