Question

2. Mr. Cole took a walk with his wife. They walked 4.4 miles in 1.4 hours. What was their average speed inmiles per hour?

Answer 1

Mr. Cole took a walk with his wife.

They walked 4.4 miles in 1.4 hours.

So we have

Distance = 4.4 miles

Time = 1.4 hours

We are asked to find the average speed in miles per hour.

The average speed is given by

`S=(D)/(t)`

Where D is the distance and t is the time.

`S=(4.4)/(1.4)=3.142`

Therefore, their average speed is 3.142 miles per hour.
