Question

Lisa is on a run of 18 miles. She has 3 hours to complete her run. How many miles does she need to run each hour to complete the run?

A) 7
B) 6
C) 8
D) 5

Answer 1

B) 6

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to know what the question is asking for.

"How many miles does she need to run each hour to complete the run" is asking for a speed in miles per hour.

miles / hour = speed in mph

18 miles / 3 hours = 18/3 mph

18/3 simplifies to 6

Lisa needs to run 6 mph
