Question

Blake has entered a mountain bike competition at starvation flats bike park. placement in the competition is determined by a person's average speed over four laps around the course. the course itself is of a mile long. if blake completed the four laps in 12 minutes, then his average speed around the track is miles per hour.

Answer 1

If I understand the question right I would believe it to be 5 miles an hour because the course is a mile and he ran a mile in 12 minutes. We know an hour is 60 minutes so we have to divide the number of minutes he is talking from the hour. 60 divided by 12 is 5 so if he is running a mile every 12 minutes then he is running 5mph
