50 miles in 120 minutes

= 5 miles in 12 minutes

= 5/12 miles in 1 minutes

= 300/12 miles in an hour

= 25 mph

Answer:

  • 25 m/h

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

  • Speed = Distance/Time

Work:

  • Speed = 50/120 minutes
  • => Speed = 50/2 hours
  • => Speed = 25 m/h

Hence, the speed is 25 m/h.
