Question

Stan Biked 44 km in 3 2/3 hrs. What was his average rate of speed?

Answer 1

`\boxed{ \rm{12 \: km \: {h}^( - 1) }}`

Explanation:

To find the average speed of a person, divide the total distance covered by total time taken.

Stan covered 44km in 3 2/3 hrs (11/3 hrs), It means average speed of stan will be:

`= \large{\frac{44}{ \large{ (11)/(3) } }}`

`= (44 * 3)/(11) = 12 \: \rm{km \: {h}^( - 1) }`

Stan was biking at an average speed of 12 km/hr.
