Question

Knighton, Katelyn Susie went on a walk. She walked one-fifth of a mile in one-fourth of an hour. What was her walking speed in miles per hour? mile per hour

Answer 1

Data:

Distance: d

Time: t

d=1/5mile

t=1/4h

The speed is:

`s=(d)/(t)`
`s=\frac{(1)/(5)\text{mile}}{(1)/(4)h}=(4)/(5)(mile)/(h)`

Then, her walking speed is 4/5mile/hour or 0.8mile/hour
