Question

A person is training for a cross country and manages to run 2 miles in a time of 12 mins what was the runners average velocity in miles per hour

Answer 1

Answer:

10 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Average velocity=distance covered/time in hours

Distance=2 miles

time=12minute

change minutes to hour=12/60 =0.2hrs

v=2÷0.2

v=10miles per hour

Answer 2

Answer:

10 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 2 miles / 12 minutes to MILES per HOUR, we need to set up a simple ratio:

*** Let x be the average velocity (in mph) ***

$\frac{Miles}{Hour}>>>\frac{2Miles}{12Mins}=\frac{xMiles}{60Minutes}\\2*60 = 12*x\\120=12x\\x=\frac{120}{12}=10$

So the average velocity in miles per hour is 10
