Answer 1

do miles/hour =

10.6 miles/2.5 hours =

10.6/2.5 =

Answer 2

C. 4.24 miles/hour

Explanation:

We know that,

`Speed =(Distance)/(Time)`

Given,

Distance covered by Abigail in jogging = 10.6 miles,

Time taken by her = 2.5 hours,

Therefore, her speed of jogging =
`(10.6)/(2.5)=4.24\text{ miles per hour}`
