Question

Britney ran 1 1/4 miles in 1/4 hour. At this rate, how many hours will it take Britney to run 1 mile?

Answer 1

`1/5` miles

Explanation:

To find the time for one mile, first you can find the time for `1/4` miles. There you divide the time given by 5, because the distance given is `5/4` miles:
`1/4 -: 5 = 1/20`

Then you can find the time for one mile, by multiplying the time for `1/4` mile by 4:
`1/20 xx 4 = 1/5`
