Question

Juan roller skates 60 miles in 3 3/4 hours. What is his average speed in miles per hour?

Answer 1

Answer: 16 mi/h

Explanation:

1. To solve this problem you must use the formula shown below:

V=d/t

Where V is the average speed, d is the distance and t is the time.

2. You must substitute the value given in the probelm above into the formula:

(You have that 3 3/4 h=3+0.75 h=3.75 h)

V=60mi/3.75h

V=16 mi/h

Answer 2

The average speed of Juan is 16 miles per hour.

Explanation:

It is given that Juan roller skates 60 miles in
`3(3)/(4)` hours.

`3(3)/(4)=(12+3)/(4)=(15)/(4)`

Speed formula:

`\text{Average speed}=(distance)/(time)`

`\text{Average speed}=(60)/(((15)/(4)))`

`\text{Average speed}=(60* 4)/(15)`

`\text{Average speed}=16`

Therefore the average speed of Juan is 16 miles per hour.
