Question

Arianna went running for 0.75 hours and ran 5.55 miles. What was her speed, in miles per hour, if Arianna

ran at the same speed for her whole run?

Answer 1

Arianna's speed was calculated to be 7.4 miles per hour by dividing the distance she ran (5.55 miles) by the time (0.75 hours).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find Arianna's speed in miles per hour, we use the formula for speed which is distance traveled divided by time taken. Arianna ran 5.55 miles in 0.75 hours. To calculate her speed, we divide the distance by the time:

Speed = Distance / Time

= 5.55 miles / 0.75 hours

= 7.4 miles per hour

Therefore, Arianna's speed was 7.4 miles per hour. This indicates that she was running at a speed that is just under the 40 percent of runners who ran at speeds of 7.5 miles per hour or less (slower).

Answer 2

7.4 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

To find her speed in miles per hour, divide the amount of miles she ran by the number of hours:

5.55/0.75

= 7.4

So, her speed is 7.4 miles per hour
