Question

An object travels 4/5 miles in 1/2 hour. what is her speed?

Answer 1

Answer: 8/5 mph

Explanation:

According to definition, an object's speed is determined by:

s=d/t where,

d is the object's travel distance, and t is the amount of time it takes.

We can replace these values with:

Since, s= (4/5) / (1/2) mph

=> s= 8/5 mph

The object's speed to cover 4/5 miles in 30 minutes is: 8/5 mph

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{\sf v = 0.4\ mph}`

Explanation:

Given data:

Distance = S = 4/5 miles = 0.2 miles

Time = t = 1/2 hour = 0.5 hours

Required:

Speed = v = ?

Formula:

v = S/t

Solution:

v = 0.2/0.5

v = 0.4 mph
