George can walk 5 miles in 1 1/2 hours at this rate how far can george walk in 6 hours? fraction form

First off, we have to convert 1 and half hours to minutes

1 hour = 60 mins

1 and a half is half of 1, which is 60 ÷ 2 = 30, then plus 1 hour, which is 60. So 60 + 30 = 90.

So we have:

Since we converted minutes to hours on one side of the equation, we have to do the same on the other side of the equation.

1 hour = 60 mins

6 hours would be 60 × 6 = 360 minutes

Now we can set up a variable, , as to how far it will take in miles.

Nextly, we solve for

Step 1: Multiply 10 to both sides

10 and 90. Cancel the zeros. We are left with 9, so

360 and 10. Cancel the zeros. We are left with 36, so

So we have

Step 2: Multiply 36 to both sides

Therefore, Goerge could walk 20 miles in 6 hours.
