If you walk 6.2 miles in 2 hours- what is your average speed in meters per minutes?
I just want to make sure that I am setting this up right...
thank you.
6.2 miles = ? meters
Divide that by 120.
avg speed= distance*time= 6.2mi*1609m/1mi*2hr*60min/hr
6.3 miles = 9978 meters
2 hours = 120 minutes
Is that enough of a setup?
To find the average speed in meters per minute, we need to convert miles to meters and hours to minutes. Here's how you can set it up:
1 mile is equal to 1609.34 meters.
So, 6.2 miles is equal to 6.2 * 1609.34 = 9979.948 meters.
Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, 2 hours is equal to 2 * 60 = 120 minutes.
Now, we can calculate the average speed in meters per minute:
Average speed = Total distance / Total time
Average speed = 9979.948 meters / 120 minutes
Simplifying this expression gives:
Average speed = 83.16623 meters per minute (rounded to five decimal places)
Therefore, your average speed is approximately 83.16623 meters per minute.
