Question

During the 1968 olympic games mamo wolde of Ethiopia ran 26.21875 miles in 2.341 hours. About how many miles did he run each hour?

Answer 1

Answer:

He ran 11.200 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of miles the runner ran in hours can be expressed as a ratio (fraction):

$\frac{miles}{hour} =\frac{22.21875}{2.341}=\frac{11.1998}{1}$

Since the answer is 11.1998, we can round to the nearest tenth (first place after the decimal) to get 11.2 miles per hour.
