A sea horse riding travels an average of 0.01 miles per hour. At that rate, how fast can a sea horse travel in 2.4 hours?

As for this problem, it would be best to approach this with a ratio to ratio approach. This would then involve the equation with fractions which is the common conversion from ratios to easily solve the problems concerning these. The equation then would look somehow like this:

0.01 miles / 1 hour = x miles / 2.4 hours

The easiest way would be just to multiply the numerator, which is the miles, to 2.4. So when it is multiplied to the numerator, the equation then would turn to:

0.01 miles x 2.4 / 1 hour = x miles / 2.4 hours

0.024 miles would be the answer.
