Question

An average woman walks at a speed

of 255 feet per minute. At this rate,
how far would Mrs.
ft
Hill walk in an hour?

Answer 1

15,300 ft or 2.9 miles

Explanation:

Distance = Rate * Time (but rate and time must be in the same units)

convert hours to minutes

1 hr * 60 min/hr = 60 min

then

D = 255 ft/min * 60 min

D = 15,300 ft

if you want miles, convert ft to miles (5280 ft per mile)

15,300 ft * 1 mi/5280 ft

2.9 mi
