What is your rate in miles per hour if you run at a speed of 2.2 miles in 20 minutes?

Asked by KellePostlethwaite6

Answer (3)

In 20 minutes a person runs 2.2 miles In 1 minute the person runs = 2.2/20 miles
In 60 minutes the person runs = (2.2/20) * 60 = 2.2 * 3 miles = 6.6 miles
Then the person travels at a rate of 6.6 miles/hour.

To calculate your rate in miles per hour (mph) if you run 2.2 miles in 20 minutes, you can use the following steps:
First, convert the time from minutes to hours. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, divide 20 minutes by 60 to get the time in hours.
Then, divide the distance by the time in hours to get the speed in mph.
Now let's do the math:
Time in hours = 20 minutes / 60 minutes per hour = 1/3 hour.
Speed in mph = 2.2 miles / (1/3 hour) = 2.2 miles × 3 = 6.6 mph.
Therefore, your running speed is 6.6 mph.

If you run 2.2 miles in 20 minutes, your speed is calculated to be 6.6 miles per hour. This is done by converting the time from minutes to hours and using the formula for speed, which is distance divided by time. Therefore, your running rate is 6.6 mph.
