Question

Mrs Beck walks 3/4 of a mile in 1/6 of an hour. What is he speed?

Answer 1

Answer:

The speed with which Mrs Beck walk is $\frac{9}{2}$  or 4.5 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance =  3/4 of a mile

Time  =  1/6 of an hour.

To Find:

Speed = ?

Solution:

We know that

$Speed = \frac{distance }{time}$

On substituting  the values

$Speed = \frac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{1}{6}}$

$Speed = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{6}{1}$

Speed = $\frac{18}{4}$

Speed = $\frac{9}{2}$  miles per hour or 4.5 miles per hour
