astra-53 [7]

Answer:

The average speed was of 2 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average speed:

Average speed is distance divided by time.

Distance:

Solved by proportions, using rule of three.

1800 steps - x miles

10,000 steps - 5 miles

10000x = 5(1800)

x = \frac{9000}{10000}

x = 0.9

Distance of 0.9 miles.

Using a time of 27 minutes to complete the event, calculate your average speed.

Distance of 0.9 miles in 27/60 of an hour. So

d = \frac{0.9}{\frac{27}{60}} = \frac{60(0.9)}{27} = 2

The average speed was of 2 miles per hour.
