Question

Mike walks mile in half an hour. Which of the following represents his walking speed in miles per

hour?

A. 1/2 mph
B. 1/8 mph
C. 8 mph
D. 3/4 mph

Answer 1

Explanation:

distance = rate
`*` time

1 (mile) = rate
`*` 0.5 (hours)

`1/0.5 =` rate

rate = 2 mph...

That however is not answer choice. I'm guessing the number in front of the mile didn't copy over. You can use the same method I did, but just plugging in the actual number instead of 1.
