Mr. Cole took a walk with his wife.

They walked 4.4 miles in 1.4 hours.

So we have

Distance = 4.4 miles

Time = 1.4 hours

We are asked to find the average speed in miles per hour.

The average speed is given by


S=(D)/(t)

Where D is the distance and t is the time.


S=(4.4)/(1.4)=3.142

Therefore, their average speed is 3.142 miles per hour.
