Answer:
90 min
Step-by-step explanation:
if 2 miles is equal to36 minutes what about 5 miles
Answer:
90 minutes. 1 hour, 30 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
36 minutes = 2 miles
? minutes = 5 miles
There are many ways to solve this, for example, creating an equation. But I am going to show you how to solve this using fractions.
Step 1: Set up a fraction.
Make sure your values are in the correct order. 2 miles is 36, so 5 miles would be a variable. We will make that variable of time "t".
[tex]\frac{36}{2} = \frac{t}{5}[/tex]
Also, make sure the values with the same units are on the same level. For example, 2 miles and 5 miles are both under, although they can be at the top, too, they just both have to be at the same place.
Step 2: Solve for the variable.
[tex]\frac{36}{2} = \frac{t}{5}[/tex]
On one side, we see 36 over 2. We should solve that first. [tex]\frac{36}{2}=36\div2=18[/tex]
We are left with [tex]18 = \frac{t}{5}[/tex]
Multiply 5 to both sides
[tex]5\cdot18=\frac{t}{5} \cdot5[/tex]
18 times 5 equals 90
5 cancels 5, so that leaves us with 90.
Step 3: Convert 90 minutes to hour.
60 minutes = 1 hour
Since we know 60 minutes makes 1 hour, we can find out how many are left from 90 minutes by subtracting 60 from 90
[tex]90-60=30[/tex]
It will take 1 hour and 30 minutes to walk 5 miles.
