Given that last week at the park Haeather ran 4 miles in 48 minutes, to determine what was Haeather rate of speed in miles per hour the following mathematical calculation must be performed:
48/4 = 12
Thus, Haeather ran 1 mile every 12 minutes.
60/12 = 5
1 x 5 = 5
Therefore, Haeather ran at a speed of 5 miles per hour.
