Question

Dani is training for a marathon. Her target speed is 25 miles per hour. She currently runs 15 miles in 1/2 an hour. Does she achieve her target speed for her run?

Answer 1

target speed for the marathon has been achieved and exceeded

Explanation:

Given that :

Target speed = 25 mph

Current speed = 15 miles in 1/2 an hour

Current speed :

15 miles in 0.5 hours

X miles in 1 hour

0.5x = 15 miles

X = 15 / 0.5

X = 30 miles per hour

Hence, current speed in miles per hour = 30mph

This means that her target speed for the marathon has been achieved and exceeded
