The track at East Side High School is 440 yards long. It took Maya 10 minutes to jog around the track 4 times. Find her speed in miles per hour. (What's the formula for this problem?)

speed=distance/time

we need to findn her distance in miles and times in hous

440 yards times 4 laps=1760 yards
1760 yards=1 mile

distance=1 miles

time
10 minutes
60 minutes per hour
1/6 hour
1 miler per (1/6) hour
multiply by 6
6 miles per 1hour
6 miles pe hour
