Question

Igor and Sally both ran the same distance.

Igor completed the distance in 2 hours.
His average speed was 6 miles per hour.
Sally completed the distance in 4 hours.
What was Sally's average speed for the journey?
Give your answer in miles per hour (mph).

Answer 1

3 mph

Explanation:

So if you would multiply 6 by two, since 6 is only a distance Igor would run per an hour, you would get 12 which is the planned distance both Sally and Igor are running. Then divide 12 by four since we know that Sally runs 12 miles but does it in four hours.

12 / 4 = 3.

So the answer is gonna be 3 mph.

Hope this helps :)
