Final answer:
To find Joe's average speed in miles per hour, we need to convert the given distance and time from kilometers and minutes to miles and hours. Joe's average speed is approximately 36.16 mph, which is not among the given options.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find Joe's average speed in miles per hour, we need to convert the given distance and time from kilometers and minutes to miles and hours.
Given:
Distance = 97 km
Time = 100 minutes
1 km = 0.6214 miles
1 minute = 1/60 hours
Converting distance: 97 km * 0.6214 miles/km = 60.2698 miles
Converting time: 100 minutes * (1/60) hours/minute = 1.6667 hours
Using the formula: Average speed = Distance / Time, we can calculate Joe's average speed:
Average speed = 60.2698 miles / 1.6667 hours = 36.16 mph
Therefore, Joe's average speed is approximately 36.16 mph, which is not among the given options. None of the provided options are correct.
