Answer:
2.4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a simple ratio problem.
Penguins go 4/5 mile in 1/3rd hour. So how many miles will they go in 1 hour? Let that be x:
[tex]\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}}=\frac{x}{1}\\\frac{1}{3}x=\frac{4}{5}\\x=\frac{4}{5}*3=\frac{12}{5}[/tex]
That is 12/5 miles or 2 2/5 miles
In decimal, that's 2.4 miles
