Hello there,

Friends house: 12 miles
Average: 2.5 mph

Write a proportion...

12/x = 2.5/1

Cross multiply and divide...

12 * 1 = 12

12/2.5 = 4.8 hours

Convert that into time...

4.8 hours or 5 h 20 m


Hope I Helped!!

Answer:

4.8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of the boy is 2.5 miles per hour. Speed is defined as distance over time:

[tex]V=d/t[/tex]

We have the speed and the distance and therefore we can work out the time in hours:

[tex]2.5=12/t[/tex]

[tex]t=12/2.5=4.8[/tex]

The boy took 4.8 hours to reach the house
