The answer is: " 3.6 mi / h " ; or, write as: " 3 ⅗ mi / h " .
______________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
___________________________________________________
1 mile per 50 min. ; or, 1 mi./50 min. ;

Convert to "mi. per hr." or, "mi./ h"
(also abbreviated "mph" ; but let's use "mi/h" to avoid confusion.
______________________________________________________
Note: The exact conversion: 60 min. = 1 h .
______________________________________________________
(1 mi / 50 min) * (60 min / 1 hr) = (60/50) mi/h ;
______________________________________________________
= 6/5 mi/h ;
______________________________________________________ = " 3.6 mi / h " ; or, write as: " 3 ⅗ mi / h ".
