Karen decided to rest and stopped running for an hour.
Karen ran 2 miles between hours 2 and 3.
Karen ran at the same speed between hours 2 and 3.
Karen ran backwards for an hour.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Rate or speed is distance divided by time

She went 6mi in two hours so

r=6/2=3 mi/hr

Her distance did not change between 2 and 3 hours so her rate was

r=0mi/1hr=0mi/hr

Since she hadn’t moved she must have been stopped and taken a rest.
