Problema Solution
It takes Sarah 50 minutes to walk to her friends house 1.75 miles away. What is her walking pace in miles per hour?
Answer provided by our tutors
t = 50 min = 50/60 = 5/6 hr
d = 1.75 mi the distance walked
v = Sarah's walking pace
v = d/t
v = 1.75/(5/6)
v = 1.75*6/5
v = 2.1 mph
Sarah's walking pace is 2.1 miles per hour.
