Question

A circular running track is 1/4 of a mile long Elena runs this track completing each lap in 1/20 of an hour what is her speed

Answer 1

Answer:

The speed is equal to $5\frac{mi}{h}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The speed is equal to divide the distance by the time

Let

x------> the distance in miles

y-----> the time in hours

s----> the speed in mph

so

$s=\frac{x}{y}$

In this problem we have

$x=(1/4)\ mi$

$y=(1/20)\ h$

substitute

$s=\frac{(1/4)}{(1/20)}=20/4=5\frac{mi}{h}$
