Answer:

7

Explanation:

speed x time = distance

? x time = distance

1/28x = 1/4

1/28x 1/4

_____ = _____

1/28 1/28

1/4 ÷ 1/28

(reciprocal method) 28/1

1/4 × 28/1 (change the equation into multiplication)

1/4 × 28/1 = 28/4 (multiply)

(Simplify) 28/4 ---> 7/1 or 7

final answer:

The persons speed would be 7.
