Question

Karl sane walked 2189 miles in 45 days, 7 hours, and 39 minutes.

What was his average speed in miles per day?

Answer 1

7 hours and 39 minutes converted to day is about 0.31 days (7.39/24). By adding 45 + 0.31 = 45.31, you get the total number of days. To get the average speed of miles per day, divide the miles given by the days you calculated, 2189/45.31, = 48.31 miles/day
