Answer:

0.1 miles per min

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem states that Jan walks 2.8 miles to school and it takes her exactly 23 min to walk to school. With these numbers you can find the average walking speed using the formula: Distance/Time = average. When you divide 2.8 by 23, you get 0.1

Hope this helps!
