Question

A circular running track is 1/4 miles long Jane runs on this track completing each lap in 1/20 of an hour what is James running speed

Answer 1

Answer:

James running speed  is 5 Miles per hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the circular running track =  1/4 miles

Time Taken for Jane to make one complete lap = 1/20 of an hour

To Find:

James running speed = ?

Solution:

Let the  speed  at which James is running be X

then , we know that

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

$Speed = \frac{ \frac{1}{4} }{ \frac{1}{20} }$

$Speed = \frac{1}{4} } \times\frac{20}{1}$

$Speed = \frac{20}{4}$

Speed  =  5 Miles per hours
