I jogged for [tex]3 \frac{2}{5}[/tex] miles in [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex] hours. What was my average speed in miles per hour?
Answer (2)
f or m u l a f or a v er a g e s p ee d : s p ee d = t im e d i s t an ce 8 7 3 5 2 h o u rs mi l es = 5 17 ∗ 7 8 = 5 ∗ 7 17 ∗ 8 = 35 136 = 27 , 2 h o u r mi l es S o l u t i o n i s v = 27 , 2 h o u r mi l es
To find your average speed, we used the formula s p ee d = t im e d i s t an ce . The distance you jogged was converted to an improper fraction, resulting in an average speed of approximately 3.89 miles per hour. Thus, your average speed while jogging was about 3.89 miles per hour.
