Algebra Difficulty 1.4 Junior Find the answer Canada

Leticia can walk $1.5 $\text{}$
km} $in$ 20 $\text{}$ minutes}$.
Walking at this same rate, how far does Leticia walk in $4 \text{ hours}$ ?

Pick one

Solution

There are $60 \text{ minutes}$
in one hour.

Since $\$3\times20\text{}$ minutes}=60 $\text{}$
minutes} $, and$ $3\times1.5 \text{}$
km}= 4.5 $\text{}$ km}, then Leticia can walk 4.5 $\text{}$ km}$ in one hour.

Walking at this same rate, Leticia can walk $4\times4.5\text{ km}=18 \text{ km}$ in
$4 \text{ hours}$ .
