Question

Steve cycled 35 miles in 2 1⁄2 hours. What is the average speed that Steve traveled?

Answer 1

Steve's average speed is 0.23 miles per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the average speed, we need to divide the total distance traveled by the total time taken. In this case, Steve cycled 35 miles in 2 1/2 hours. To convert the 2 1/2 hours to minutes, we multiply it by 60, giving us 150 minutes. Now, we can divide the distance of 35 miles by the time of 150 minutes to get the average speed.

Average Speed = Distance / Time

Average Speed = 35 miles / 150 minutes

Average Speed = 0.23 miles per minute

Therefore, Steve's average speed is 0.23 miles per minute.

Answer 2

35 miles divided by 5 is 7 miles. 2.5 divided by 5 is 0.5 hours. But you need 1 hour, so 0.5*2=1 and 7*2=14 so the answer is 14 miles per hour.
