Question

Write using algebra. Jimmy ran m miles in t minutes. What was his speed?

Answer 1

The equation to answer this question would be t divided by m

Answer 2

Answer: $\dfrac{\text{d}}{\text{t}}$  miles per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the formula to find speed is given by :-

$\text{Speed}=\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$

Given : Jimmy ran m miles in t minutes.

i.e. Expression for Distance = m

Expression for Time = t

Then Jimmy's speed is given by :-

$\text{Speed}=\dfrac{\text{d}}{\text{t}}$

Hence,  $\text{Jimmy's Speed}=\dfrac{\text{d}}{\text{t}}$ miles per minute.
