Question

Janiya hiked 4/5 of a mile in 1/3 of an hour what is the hiking speed in miles per hour

Answer 1

The answer is 12/5 or simplified to 2 2/5

Answer 2

Answer:

Janiya has a speed of $2\frac{2}{5}$ miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Distance covered = 4/5 of a mile

Time taken to cover the distance = 1/3 of an hour

Speed is defined as the distance travelled in a certain time.

Speed of Janiya = $\frac{Distance}{Time}$

Speed of Janiya = $\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}}$

Speed of Janiya = $\frac{4*3}{5*1}$

Speed of Janiya = $\frac{12}{5}$

Speed of Janiya = $2\frac{2}{5}$ miles per hour

Hence,

Janiya has a speed of $2\frac{2}{5}$ miles per hour.
