Answer:

12 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Total distance (d): 6 km
  • Time elapsed (t): 19 min

Step 2: Convert "d" to miles

We will use the conversion factor 1 mi = 1.60934 km.

6 km × 1 mi/1.60934 km = 3.7 mi

Step 3: Convert "t" to hours

We will use the conversion factor 1 h = 60 min.

19 min × 1 h/60 min = 0.32 h

Step 4: Calculate the average speed of the runner (s)

The speed is equal to the quotient between the total distance and the time elapsed.

s = d/t

s = 3.7 mi/0.32 h = 12 mi/h
