Question

Nguyen jogged 2/3 mile in 1/12 hour. What was the speed in miles per hour

Answer 1

8 mph

Explanation:

We know that distance = rate * time and so in this case, Nguyen's distance (mi) = Nguyen's rate (mph) * Nguyen's time (hr)

Since we're given the distance (2/3 mi) and time (1/12 hr), we can solve for r or our rate by plugging everything into the formula:

`2/3=1/12r\\8=r`
