Answer: $3.30
Explanation:
You set up a proportion where
9.25 X
------ = -----
2.8 1

2.8X = 9.25
Then X = 9.25 / 2.8 = 3.30
I guess you want to find the average speed for the whole journey
average speed = distance travelled / time
the distance from home to the shop = speed * time = 0.5*10 = 5 miles
time for travelling back = distance / speed = 5/30 = 1/6 hours
average speed for whole journey = 10 / (1/2 + 1/6) = 10 * 3 / 2 = 15 mph
