Rex walked for \( 1 \frac{2}{3} \) hours, and Samir walked for \( 3 \frac{1}{3} \) hours. Complete the comparison. Samir walked \( \square \) times as many hours as Rex walked.

To find out how many times Samir walked compared to Rex, you can start by converting their walking times into improper fractions. Rex's time of \(1 \frac{2}{3}\) hours becomes \(\frac{5}{3}\) hours, while Samir's time of \(3 \frac{1}{3}\) hours converts to \(\frac{10}{3}\) hours. Now, divide Samir's time by Rex's time: \(\frac{10/3}{5/3} = \frac{10}{5} = 2\). So, Samir walked 2 times as many hours as Rex! Another fun way to see this is by visualizing it! Imagine Rex walking for 100 minutes (about \(1 \frac{2}{3}\) hours), and Samir just breezing along for 200 minutes (around \(3 \frac{1}{3}\) hours). By comparing their walking times, it’s clear that Samir can indeed strut his stuff for twice as long!
