Step-by-step explanation:
Information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Distance Charlotte walked = 1/2 of a mile
Time it took Charlotte to walk that distance = 1/4 of an hour = 15 minutes
Let's use the Direct Rule of Three to calculate the distance Charlotte will walk in an hour:
Distance Time
0.5 miles 15 minutes
x 60 minutes
***********************************
15x = 60 * 0.5
15x = 30
x = 30/15
x = 2
The correct answer is A. 2 miles per hour
