Question

A group walked 3/8 mile in 1/5 hour. Which is the groups walking speed in miles per hour

Answer 1

The groups walking speed is
`1(7)/(8)(miles)/(hour)` or
`1.875(miles)/(hour)`

Explanation:

we know that

To find the speed divide the distance by the time

so

`((3/8))/((1/5))=(15)/(8)(miles)/(hour)`

Convert to mixed number

`(15)/(8)=(8)/(8)+(7)/(8)=1(7)/(8)(miles)/(hour)`
