Question

A walking path at a park is 3/5 miles long. Paola walks on this path, completing each lap in 1/25 of an hour. What is Paola's running speed, including a unit of measure?

Answer 1

Answer:

15miles//hr

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are given;

Distance covered by Paola = 3/5 miles

Time = 1/25 of an hour

Speed = Distance/ time

Substitute

Speed = (3/5)/(1/25)

Speed = 3/5 * 25/1

Speed = 3 * 5

Speed = 15

Hence Paola's running speed in miles per hour is 15miles/hr
