Question

Jayden went on a hike. He climbed 3/4 of a mile in 2/3 of an hour. What was his hiking speed in miles per hour?

Answer 1

Answer:

`1(1)/(8)\text{ miles per hour}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance covered by Jayden = 3/4 of a mile

Time taken = 2/3 of an hour

`\text{Speed}=\frac{Dis\tan ce}{\text{Time}}`

Therefore, his hiking speed in miles per hour will be:

`\begin{gathered} =(3)/(4)/(2)/(3) \\ =(3)/(4)*(3)/(2) \\ =(9)/(8) \\ =1(1)/(8)\text{ miles per hour} \end{gathered}`
