A mouse traveled a total distance of 3/24 of a mile in a maze over the past three hours the mouse travel the same distance each

Answer:

The mouse's total distance over the course of 3 hours amounts to of a mile

. The same distance was covered by the mouse each hour. Therefore, to ascertain the distance traveled within a single hour, we need to split the total distance of 3 hours by 3. This yields the distance the mouse managed in one hour.

Thus, the distance covered during one hour becomes = of a mile

. The mistake made by Matt was that he only adjusted the denominator of the expression by dividing it by 3, which likely led to a miscalculation.

The accurate assessment is: The mouse covers 1/24 of a mile every hour
