If you can walk 5 miles in one hour, how many miles can you walk in 45 minutes?

4 miles
3.75 miles
5.5 miles
2.5 miles

The correct answer is: 3.75 miles

To determine how many miles can be walked in 45 minutes when the walking rate is 5 miles per hour, it's important to first convert the walking time from minutes to hours. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, 45 minutes is equivalent to $ \frac{45}{60} $ or 0.75 hours. Next, we can use the walking rate to find the distance. The formula for distance is: \[ \text{Distance} = \text{Rate} \times \text{Time} \] Given a walking rate of 5 miles per hour and a time of 0.75 hours, we calculate the distance as follows: \[ \text{Distance} = 5 \, \text{miles/hour} \times 0.75 \, \text{hours} = 3.75 \, \text{miles} \] Thus, the correct answer is 3.75 miles, which indicates how far you can walk in 45 minutes at that speed.
