Kevin walks home from school and it takes him an average of 1/2 hour per mile. What is a reasonable amount of time for him to walk to the movies which are 6.0 miles away?

Kevin walks at an average pace of 1/2 hour per mile. To find the total time it would take him to walk 6 miles, we multiply the average time per mile (1/2 hour) by the distance (6 miles). 1/2 hour per mile multiplied by 6 miles equals 3 hours. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that it would take Kevin 3 hours to walk to the movies which are 6 miles away.Rate this question:

There are 9 classes of students with 37 students in each class along with 1 teacher for each class. Which of the following operations would you do to find out how many students and teachers were in the gym?
- A.
(9*37) + 1
- B.
(9*37) + 37
- C.
(9*37) + 9(1)
- D.
(9*9) + 37
Correct Answer
C. (9*37) + 9(1)Explanation
To find out how many students and teachers were in the gym, we need to calculate the total number of students and teachers in all 9 classes. Since there are 37 students in each class, multiplying 37 by 9 gives us the total number of students. Additionally, there is 1 teacher for each class, so multiplying 9 by 1 gives us the total number of teachers. Adding these two values together gives us the total number of students and teachers in the gym. Therefore, the correct operation to use is (9*37) + 9(1).Rate this question:
