You can put this solution on YOUR website! In general rate times time equals distance, or rt = d.
Rate, r = d/t.
In this problem, remembering that 15 minutes is 1/4 hour, r = (3/4)/(1/4) = 3 miles per hour.
Now, d = rt = (3 mph)(1 1/3 hour) = 4 miles
You can put this solution on YOUR website! [ distance ] = [ rate ] x [ time ]
You can convert all the times to minutes
or you can convert them to hours
I'll convert to hours
---------------------
[ minutes ] x [ hrs / min ] = [ hrs ] hrs
and hrs
--------------------
Sean's rate walking is: mi/hr
-------------------------
[ distance ] = [ rate ] x [ time ] mi
He can walk 4 mi in 1 hr and 20 min
