Answer: Micheal's average Speed =6.885 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed= Distance /time
Given the distance he ran as = 5 1/4 miles
And Time taken = 45 3/4 minutes
changing to hours becomes
60 mins = 1 hour
45 3/ 4 mins = 45 3/4 mins/ 60mins x 1hour
= 45.75 /60 = 0.7625hours
Therefore Micheal's average Speed= Distance /time
=5 1/4miles / 0.7625hours = 5.25/ 0.7625
=6.885 miles per hour
approximately 7 miles/hour.
