Question

The distance between Maria’s house and her school is 650 meters. The distance between her bus stop and school is 400 meters. Maria walks to the bus stop every morning. What is her average speed if it takes her 10 minutes to walk to the bus stop?

Answer 1

Distance from Home to school = 650m
Distance from the Bus stop to school = 400m

Here we need to find the distance from Home to the Bus stop , so we know the distance will be shorter :
650-400= 250m

2)To convert minutes to hours , we divide by 60 :

Time= 10min /60= 0.166
Speed= 250/0.166 = 1506.02mph
