Question

Addie walked 2 1/2 miles in 45 minutes. Suzie covered 2 2/5 miles in 2/3 of an hour.

Answer 1

Addie's speed was $3\frac{1}{3}\ mph$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Distance walked by Addie = $2\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}\ miles$

Time taken by Addie = 45 minutes

Converting the time into hours;

1 hour = 60 minutes

45 minutes = $\frac{45}{60}=\frac{3}{4}\ hour$

Distance = Speed * Time

Speed = Distance/Time

Speed = $\frac{5}{2} / \frac{3}{4}$

Speed = $\frac{5}{2}*\frac{4}{3} = \frac{10}{3}\ mph$

Speed = $3\frac{1}{3}\ mph$

Addie's speed was $3\frac{1}{3}\ mph$
