Question

If a person travels 3.5 miles in 30 minutes, what is their speed i miles per hour

Answer 1

Given:-

If a person travels 3.5 miles in 30 minutes.

To find their speed in miles per hour.

So now we solve using the formula,

$\text{Distance}=\text{speed}\times time$

Substituting the known values. we get,

$3.5=\text{Speed}\times\frac{1}{2}$

Now we solve for speed. so we get,

$\begin{gathered} \text{speed}=3.5\times2 \\ \text{speed}=7 \end{gathered}$

So the required speed is 7miles/hr.
