A hippopotamus can run at the speed of about 24.9 miles per hour. At this rate, how far can the hippo run in 30 minutes? Use the following proportion: 24.9 mph1 hour = x30 min

Respuesta :

24.9 miles/hour = 24.9/60 miles/minute = .415 miles/minute 

distance = speed * time 
= .415 * 30 = 12.45 miles
30 mins = 1/2 hour
24.9 divided by two = 12.45 miles
