Question

Answer 1

He is riding at 2.5 mph

Answer 2

Answer:

His rides with speed 2.5 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Oscar rides his skateboard 5/8 mile in 1/4 hour,

⇒ The distance covered by him in 1/4 hours = 5/8 miles,

Thus, the distance covered by him in 1 hours = $4\times \frac{5}{8}$

$=\frac{20}{8}$

$=2.5\text{ miles}$

Hence, his speed is 2.5 miles per hour.
