Question

Tyler can swim 1/2 mile in 1/3 hour at a constant speed how fast does Tyler swim in miles per hour

Answer 1

`Speed = (3)/(2)`mph

Explanation:

Given

Distance =
`(1)/(2)` mile

Time =
`(1)/(3)` hour

Required

Determine the speed

To do this, we simply divide distance by time

`Speed= (Distance)/(Time)`

`Speed = (1)/(2) / (1)/(3)`

`Speed = (1)/(2) * (3)/(1)`

`Speed = (3)/(2)`

Hence, the speed is
`(3)/(2)` mile per hour
