Answer:
40.625 miles covered in 2.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that [tex]16 \frac{1}{4} [/tex]
miles was ran in one hour, then to find miles run in 2.5 hours, we just have to multiply:
[tex]16 \frac{1}{4} [/tex]
by [tex]2 \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
This means that miles run in 2½ hours
[tex] = 16 \frac{1}{4} \times 2 \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{65}{4} \times \frac{5}{2} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{325}{8} [/tex]
[tex] = 40 \frac{5}{8} = 40.625[/tex]
Therefore 40.625 miles will be run in 2.5 hours.
