distance = speed x time
3 = x x 30
3/30 = x
x = 1/10

If he doubles his speed then x is equal 1/5

1/5 x 60 = 12. Answer is D

Charles walked 3 miles in 30 minutes today. If he doubles his pace tomorrow how far will he walk in 1 hour?

A. 1 mile
B. 3 miles
C. 6 miles
D. 12 miles
E. 24 miles

The rate of Charles today is 3/30 = 1/10. If he doubles his pace, his new rate would be 2 x (1/10) = 2/10 = 1/5.

Since distance = rate x time, and 1 hour = 60 minutes, he can walk 1/5 x 60 = 12 miles.

Alternate Solution:

If Chris walked 3 miles in 30 minutes today, that also means that today his rate was 6 miles in one hour. If he doubles this rate tomorrow, then he will be able to walk 12 miles in one hour.

Answer: D

A. 1 mile
B. 3 miles
C. 6 miles
D. 12 miles
E. 24 miles

speed = 3/30 = 0.1 miles/min
new speed = 0.2 miles/min
therefore in 60 minutes, he will travel = 0.2*60 = 12 miles
