Question

Jason jogged 2/3 mile in 1/3 hour. What was his speed in miles per hour?

Answer 1

I honestly was having the worst time trying to solve this sorry :(, for real idk if any of these are right

i got 2 answers; 1st: ≈0.5 mph

the 2nd; 2 mph

Explanation:

Speed =
`(Distance)/(Time)`

2/3 miles = 3520 feet

1/3 hours = 20 minutes

------Make a proportion-----

`(3520ft)/(20min) = (1 mi=5280 ft)/(1hr = 60min)`

cross multiply------

3520 * 60 = 211200

5280 * 20 = 105600

Divide
`(211200)/(105600)= 2`

---(this is where i got confused cuz 2 doesn't make any sense)--

If you flip them,
`(105600)/(211200)=0.5` which makes more sense

hope i helped :(
