The average speed of the runner is 12.7 mph and 20.4 km/h
Given that the runner ran 26.2 mile in 2hr and 4 minutes, we start of by converting the time from hours and minutes into minutes and finally hours, since hours is what we need. So, we have
2hr = 120mins
+ 4 mins = 124 mins
124 mins ÷ 60 hour/mins = 2.06 hours.
This means that the runner finished the race in 2.06 hours.
If we are to find the average speed in mile per hour, we have
Average speed = distance ran ÷ time taken
Average speed = 26.2 ÷ 2.06
Average speed = 12.7 mph
From the speed in mph, we can directly convert it to km/hr by saying
1 mph = 1.609 km/h
12.7 mph = 12.7 * 1.609 = 20.4 km/hr
