Question

Noreen can walk 1/3 mile in 12 minutes. What is her average speed in miles per hour?

Answer 1

Answer:

2 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

12 minutes is .2 hours

1/3 divided by .2 is 1.66666667 round to nearest whole number and get 2

Answer 2

Answer:

v = 1.67 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, Noreen can walk 1/3 mile in 12 minutes. We need to find her average speed. We now that the total distance covered divided by total time taken is called the average speed of the Noreen. Mathematically, it is given by :

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

t = 12 minutes = 0.2 hours

$v=\dfrac{1/3\ mile}{0.2\ h}$

v = 1.67 m/s

So, the average speed of the Noreen is 1.67 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
