OpenStudy (hocuspucus292333393):

help me @Wolfboy help

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so like a first step 4/12 hours than you simplify will get 1/3 hours how you think it 1/3 hours how many minutes are equal ?

OpenStudy (hocuspucus292333393):

2/3

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

what is this 2/3 ? i asked you 1/3 hour equal how many minutes ?

OpenStudy (hocuspucus292333393):

0.3

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

hope you know that 1 hour is 60 minutes - yes ?

OpenStudy (hocuspucus292333393):

20 min

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so in this way you get 1/3 yes exactly 20 minutes

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so than you ve got that make ,travel 82 miles in 20 minutes so than how many will be ? miles per hour ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

this 20 minutes you need multiplie by 3 to get 60 minutes what are equal 1 hour yes ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

@Will.H sorry but i need ending here first and after i will go there than you can waiting sorry but i not can sending to you message - i can reply you just in this way

OpenStudy (hocuspucus292333393):

75 of total driving time

OpenStudy (hocuspucus292333393):

1.3 hours

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

for you get the how many miles travel in 1 hour you need multiply this 82 by 3 same with this 1/3 hours what are 20 minutes bc. 20 minutes time 3 make 60 minutes what mean 1 hour - yes ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so 82*3 = x and this x miles / hour will be the right answer sure

OpenStudy (hocuspucus292333393):

means 82.3

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

82 time 3 = ?

OpenStudy (hocuspucus292333393):

246

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

bc. you need multiplie by 3 this 20 minutes to get 1 hour so in this way you need multiplie too the 82 to get the traveled miles in one hour hope you understand it now

OpenStudy (hocuspucus292333393):

so its 82

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes 246 is correct but 246 miles / hour is the right correct answer ok,?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

82 is just the traveled miles in 20 minutes

OpenStudy (hocuspucus292333393):

are u sure if i get sixty ill get in troble

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

60 mean 60 minutes what make 1 hour yes ?

OpenStudy (hocuspucus292333393):

the answer is deciamel when failed last time

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

and there you need writing miles per hour ....... equal how many so there you need writing this result of 82 time 3 = 246

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

hello TSO
