Question

it takes mara 50 minutes to walk to her friends house 1 2/3 miles away. what is her walking pace in mph?

Answer 1

So, first convert 50 min into hours, since you want miles per hour: 50/60 = 5/6 hrs.

Then you just divide miles by hours to get miles/hour: (5/3)/(5/6)
Note: I converted 1 and 2/3 to 5/3, they're the same.

Answer 2

So if you do that math, you find that she is walking at 2 miles per hour.
