Question

mike ran ten laps around his school's 1/4 mile track in 15 minutes. He finishes his run at the exact same point that he started. What was his average velocity in miles per hour?​

Answer 1

10 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

If he ran .4 miles each lap than multiply 1/4 by 10 for the distance.

.25mile x 10 = 2.5miles

2.5 miles in 15 minutes

15 minutes is 1/4 an hour so multiply both 2.5 miles and 15 minutes by 4

2.5miles x 4 = 10miles

15 x 4 = 60min

10 miles for 60 minutes or 10mph
