Question

I can walk 2 miles in 1/3 of an hour. How long will it take me to get to the gas station that is 1/2 a mile away?

Answer 1

Answer:

1/12 of an hour, or 5 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ½ miles is ¼ of 2 miles, you would divide ⅓ by 4 to get 1/12 hours. That converted to minutes is 5 minutes.
