Question

What is the average speed of a runner if he ran 2 1/3 of a mile in 20 minutes?

Answer 1

7 mph

(I think)

(2 1/3) / 20 =

7/3 * 1/20 =

7/60 miles per minute

hopes this helps

Answer 2

0.117 mile/minute

Explanation:

We are given that a runner ran distance=
`2(1)/(3)` of a mile.

Time taken by runner=20 minutes.

We have to find the average speed of runner.

Average speed =
`(distance)/(time)`

Distance=
`2(1)/(3)=(7)/(3)miles`

Substitute the values in the formula then, we get

Average speed=
`((7)/(3))/(20)`

Average speed=
`(7)/(3* 20)=(7)/(60) mile/minute`

Average speed=
`0.117` mile/minute
