Question

1. aisha has a pet golden retriever named lucky. she walks lucky every night. yesterday, aisha and lucky took a 45 - minute walk and walked 3 miles. today, aisha plans to walk lucky for only 30 minutes. if they keep the same pace, how many miles will aisha and lucky walk today? miles

Explanation:

Step1: Find the rate (miles per minute)

First, we find the rate of walking. Rate is distance divided by time. Yesterday, they walked 3 miles in 45 minutes. So the rate \( r \) is \( r=\frac{3}{45} \) miles per minute. Simplifying \( \frac{3}{45}=\frac{1}{15} \) miles per minute.

Step2: Calculate today's distance

Today, the time is 30 minutes. Using the formula \( \text{Distance}=\text{Rate}\times\text{Time} \), we substitute the rate \( \frac{1}{15} \) miles per minute and time 30 minutes. So distance \( d = \frac{1}{15}\times30 \). Calculating \( \frac{1}{15}\times30 = 2 \) miles.
