Addie's speed was [tex]3\frac{1}{3}\ mph[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Distance walked by Addie = [tex]2\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}\ miles[/tex]
Time taken by Addie = 45 minutes
Converting the time into hours;
1 hour = 60 minutes
45 minutes = [tex]\frac{45}{60}=\frac{3}{4}\ hour[/tex]
Distance = Speed * Time
Speed = Distance/Time
Speed = [tex]\frac{5}{2} / \frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Speed = [tex]\frac{5}{2}*\frac{4}{3} = \frac{10}{3}\ mph[/tex]
Speed = [tex]3\frac{1}{3}\ mph[/tex]
Addie's speed was [tex]3\frac{1}{3}\ mph[/tex]
Keywords: speed, distance
