Question

If a person travels 3.5 miles in 30 minutes, what is their speed i miles per hour

Answer 1

Given:-

If a person travels 3.5 miles in 30 minutes.

To find their speed in miles per hour.

So now we solve using the formula,

`\text{Distance}=\text{speed}* time`

Substituting the known values. we get,

`3.5=\text{Speed}*(1)/(2)`

Now we solve for speed. so we get,

`\begin{gathered} \text{speed}=3.5*2 \\ \text{speed}=7 \end{gathered}`

So the required speed is 7miles/hr.
