Joseph walked home from school. He walked 1/5 of a mile in 1/10 of an hour. How many miles did Josheph walk per hour.

Answer 1

To get 1 hour you multiply both 1/5(0.2) and 1/10(6min)by 10. He walks 2 miles an hour which is the normal human walking speed.

Answer 2

In this question , it is given that , Joseph walked 1/5 of a mile in 1/10 of an hour.

Here distance is 1/5 mile and time is 1/10 hour .

We have to find the speed of Joseph .

And for that, we use the folowing formula:

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

Substituting the values of distance and time, we will get

$speed = \frac{1/5}{1/10} = \frac{10}{5} = 2 miles/hour$

Hence, Joseph walk 2 miles per hour .
