Answer 1

Answer:

C. 4.24 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

$Speed =\frac{Distance}{Time}$

Given,

Distance covered by Abigail in jogging =  10.6 miles,

Time taken by her = 2.5 hours,

Therefore, her speed of jogging = $\frac{10.6}{2.5}=4.24\text{ miles per hour}$

Option 'C' is correct.

Answer 2

do miles/hour =

10.6 miles/2.5 hours =

10.6/2.5 =

4.24 miles/hour
