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.
