Answer 1

What do you think?

Answer 2

maybe 3 hours

Answer 3

Okay, that is correct, but do you know why/how?

Answer 4

umm do you divide 9 and 3

Answer 5

He walks 3 miles in 1 hour. He walks 6 miles in 2 hours. We are just adding 3 miles each hour, so he walked 9 miles in 3 hours

Answer 6

For numbers that don't go into each other, such as 4 and 9, you would divide 9/4
