Algebra Difficulty 1.2 Junior Find the answer Canada

Anna walked at a constant rate. The graph shows that she walked 600 metres in 4 minutes.

If she continued walking at the same rate, how far did she walk in 6 minutes?

Your answer

A number or a short expression. Fractions can be typed as 3/2, and spacing doesn't matter.

Solution

If Anna walked 600 metres in 4 minutes, then she walked $\frac{600}{4}=150$ metres each minute.

Therefore, in 6 minutes, she walked $6 \times 150 = 900$ metres.
