    Diana is going camping with her family. Their campsite is 5/8 mile away. They walk at a steady speed of 2 1/2 miles per hr. How many minutes will It take them to get to the campsite.

    alright so we know it takes an hour for them to travel 2 1/2 miles ...

    60minutes=1hr

    60minutes=2 1/2 miles

    now if you convert that fraction to a denominator of 1/8 ...

    2 1/2=5/2=10/4=20/8

    so in 6o minutes they travel 20/8 miles ...

    and if you divide 20/8 by 4 you get ...

    20/8/4=5/8

    and so if you divided one side of the equation (60minutes=20/8) you have to divide the other side so ...

    60/4=20/8/4

    and once you divide both sides you will get the answer ...

    15 minutes=5/8miles

    Answer: 15 minutes
