Question

Jason can travel 23 3/4 miles in 2/3 of an hour. What is the speed in miles per hour?

Answer 1

5.625 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance that can be covered by Jason = 23 3/4 miles

The time that is taken to cover the distance = 2/3 of an hour

Therefore:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Speed}=\frac{Dis\tan ce\text{ travelled}}{\text{Time taken}} \\ =23(3)/(4)/(2)/(3) \\ =(95)/(4)/(2)/(3) \\ =(95)/(4)*(3)/(2) \\ =35(5)/(8)\text{ miles per hour} \end{gathered}`

His speed in miles per hour is 35.625 miles per hour.
