Question

Mrs. Wolter ran 5 miles in 25 hours. What was her speed in miles per hour

Answer 1

Answer:

Her speed in miles per hour is 0.2 mph

Explanation:

Given that;

Mrs. Wolter ran 5 miles in 25 hours.

The speed can be calculated using the formula;

$\text{speed}=\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}}$

Given;

$\begin{gathered} \text{distance}=5\text{ miles} \\ \text{time = 25 hours} \end{gathered}$

substituting the values, we have;

$\begin{gathered} \text{speed}=\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}}=\frac{\text{ 5 miles}}{25\text{ hours}} \\ \text{speed}=0.2\text{ miles per hour} \\ \text{speed = 0.2 mph} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, her speed in miles per hour is 0.2 mph
