Carol walks one mile every 24 minutes and walks 11 hours per week. If Carol takes 6 weeks off for rest throughout the year, how many miles will she walk per year? Assume there are 4 weeks per month.

Respuesta :

Answer:

1,155 miles in a year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming there are 4 weeks per month, that would mean there are a total of 48 weeks. If she takes 6 weeks off then that would leave 42 weeks. We know need to find how many minutes are in 11 hours by multiplying 11 by 60min.

11 * 60 = 660min

Now we need to divide 660min by the 24min it takes to walk 1 mile which will also give us the number of miles she walks per week

660 / 24 = 27.5 miles per week

Finally, we need to multiply the number of miles by the number of weeks in the year.

27.5 miles * 42 weeks = 1,155 miles in a year.
