Question

Byun walked 15 blocks in 25 minutes what was his average speed

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{3}{5}$blocks/minutes

Explanation:

Given parameters:

  Number of blocks walked  = 15blocks

  Time taken for the walk = 25minutes

Unknown:

Average speed  = ?

Solution:

In this scenario, the average speed is the rate of walking the blocks per unit of time;

  Average speed  = $\frac{number of blocks}{time}$  

Input the parameters and solve;

  Average speed  = $\frac{15}{25}$blocks/minutes

   Average speed  = $\frac{3}{5}$blocks/minutes
