Diana is going camping with her family. Their campsite is 5/8 mile away. They walk at a steady speed of 2 1/2 miles per hr. How many minutes will It take them to get to the campsite.

alright so we know it takes an hour for them to travel 2 1/2 miles ...

60minutes=1hr

60minutes=2 1/2 miles

now if you convert that fraction to a denominator of 1/8 ...

2 1/2=5/2=10/4=20/8

so in 6o minutes they travel 20/8 miles ...

and if you divide 20/8 by 4 you get ...

20/8/4=5/8

and so if you divided one side of the equation (60minutes=20/8) you have to divide the other side so ...

60/4=20/8/4

and once you divide both sides you will get the answer ...

15 minutes=5/8miles

Answer: 15 minutes
