You can walk 2 miles in 36 minutes. How long will it
take you to walk 5 miles?

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".

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.

On one side, we see 36 over 2. We should solve that first.

We are left with

Multiply 5 to both sides

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

It will take 1 hour and 30 minutes to walk 5 miles.
