Answer:

10 miles per hour

Explanation:

Phillip can run 1 mile in 6 minutes. So in 1 hour (or 60 minutes), he can run 1 x 10 = 10 miles

Answer:

10 MPH

Explanation:

Well since there is 60 minutes in an hour, you can easily take 6 and multiply it by 10 since that will equal 60. 1 mile takes 6 minutes and because we multiplied the amount by 10, we can multiply the amount of miles by 10 as well. If Philip runs at a constant rate for 60 minutes straight, he will be going at 10 MPH. Hope this helps!
