Answer 1

B. 1.8miles/hour

Explanation:

Speed = distance/time

Given parameters

Distance = 3/10 miles

Time = 10miuntes

Convert the time to hours

10minutes = (10/60)hour

10minutes = 1/6 hour

Substitute the parameters into the formula;

Distance = (3/10)/(1/6)

Distance = 3/10× 6/1

Distance = 18/10

DISTANCE = 1.8miles/hour
