Question

How do you write a story problem that can be solved using 1.5 divided by 0.5?

Answer 1

(see below for one possibility)

Explanation:

Billie walks `1.5` miles in half an hour. What is Billie's walking speed in miles per hour?

In general `"speed" = "distance"/"time"`

So in this case `"speed" = (1.5" miles")/(0.5" hours") = 3 "miles"/"hour"`
