Question

A cyclist covers a distance of 15 miles in 2 hours. Calculate his speed.

Answer 1

The formula for speed is s = d ÷ t, or speed equals distance divided by time.

Divide the cyclist's distance by his time.

15 ÷ 2 = 7.5

Answer:

The cyclist's speed is 7.5 mph.

Answer 2

7.5mph

Explanation:

Speed = Distance / Time

Speed = 15 ÷ 2

Speed = 7.5 mph
