<u>Solution:</u>
It is given that Mario runs 24 miles in 3 hours. We have to find what is Mario’s average speed in miles per hour.
In other words we have to find how much mile did Mario run in 1 hour. To find his average speed in miles will use the unitary method.
Using Unitary method,
In 3 hours Mario can run 24 miles.
In 1 hour Mario can run miles.
On dividing we get,
Thus, in 1 hour Mario runs 8 miles.
This means Mario’s average speed is 8 miles per hour.
