Question

I ran 13 miles in 2 1/4 hours. What was my average speed? (It has to be done using proportions) I don't need the answer, I need to know how to do it, and if you do give me the answer, please show your work lol

Answer 1

2 1/4 hours=2.25 hours

ran 13 miles in 2.25 hours, so I just need to take 13 miles divided for 2.25 which equal 5 7/9. As a result, my average speed is 5 7/9 miles per hour. Hope it help!
