Answer:

7.5 miles per hour

Explanation:

Given: Kayla runs 3/4 mile in 1/10 hour assuming she runs at a constant rate

To find: speed in miles per hour

Solution:

Distance travelled by Kayla =
(3)/(4) mile

Time =
(1)/(10) hour

To find the speed in miles per hour, use the following formula:

Speed = Distance ÷ Time =
((3)/(4) )/((1)/(10) )=(3)/(4)(10)=7.5 miles per hour
