5003 Praxis Practice Test Practice Question
It takes Suzie 2 hours to walk 3.5 miles. At this rate, how many miles can Suzie walk in 3 hours?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To determine how far Suzie can walk in 3 hours, first calculate her walking rate. Suzie walks 3.5 miles in 2 hours, which equates to 1.75 miles per hour (3.5 miles ÷ 2 hours). Over 3 hours, she can cover 5.25 miles (1.75 miles/hour × 3 hours).
Option A (1.75 miles) reflects her distance for just 1 hour, not 3. Option B (4.5 miles) underestimates her total distance based on her rate. Option D (5.5 miles) slightly overestimates, miscalculating the time or speed. Thus, 5.25 miles accurately represents her distance in 3 hours.
