Question

Alicia walks 4 miles in 1 hour and can speed walk 5 miles in 1 hour. What percent of Alicia's average speed walking rate is her average walking rate?

Answer 1

80%

Explanation:

Alicia walks 4 miles in 1 hour and can speed walk 5 miles in 1 hour.

So, the average walking rate of Alicia is 4 miles per hour and the average speed walking rate of Alicia is 5 miles per hour.

Therefore, the percentage of Alicia's average walking rate with respect to Alicia's average speed walking rate is
`(4 * 100)/(5) =80`%.

(Answer)

Answer 2

The % Alicia speed walking is 125 % of average walking

Explanation:

Given as :

Distance cover by Alicia while walking = 4 miles

Time taken = 1 hour

So, Speed of Alicia while walking =
`(Distance)/(Time)`

Or, S 1 =
`(4 miles)/(1 hour)`

I.e S 1 = 4 mph

And

Distance cover by Alicia while speed walk = 5 miles

Time Taken = 1 hour

So, Speed of Alicia while speed walking =
`(Distance)/(Time)`

Or, S 2 =
`(5 miles)/(1 hour)`

I.e S 2 = 5 mph

Or, % Rate =
`(5)/(4)` ×100 = 125

Hence The % Alicia speed walking is 125 % of average walking Answer
