# How long will it take you to ski a distance of 36 miles at a speed of 3 miles per 30 minutes?

Jan 12, 2017

$\textcolor{g r e e n}{6}$ hours

#### Explanation:

$\left(3 \text{ miles")/(30" minutes")=(6" miles")/(60" minutes")=(6" miles")/("hour}\right)$

36 " miles" xx ("hour")/(6" miles")

color(white)("XXX")=color(red)(cancel(color(black)((36)))color(white)("X")^6) color(blue)(cancel(color(black)(" miles") ))xx"hour"/(color(red)(cancel(color(black)(6)) color(blue)(cancel(color(black)(" miles")))))

color(white)("XXX")=6 " hours"
