If a person can walk 5 miles in 1 hour, how many miles can they walk in 45 minutes?

3 miles
3.25 miles
3.75 miles
4 miles

The correct answer is: 3.75 miles

To determine how far a person can walk in 45 minutes, we start by understanding their walking speed. The individual walks at a speed of 5 miles per hour. First, convert 45 minutes into hours because the walking speed is given in miles per hour. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we can calculate: 45 minutes = 45/60 hours = 0.75 hours. Next, we find the distance the person can walk in 0.75 hours using the formula: Distance = Speed × Time. Substituting in the known values: Distance = 5 miles/hour × 0.75 hours = 3.75 miles. Thus, in 45 minutes, this person can walk 3.75 miles, which corresponds to the correct answer.
