If a person runs a marathon 26.4 miles in 2.5 hours, what is his/hers speed?
To calculate the speed at which the person ran the marathon, divide the distance by the time taken. In this case, the person ran a distance of 26.4 miles in a time of 2.5 hours.
Speed = Distance / Time
Substituting the given values into the formula, we get:
Speed = 26.4 miles / 2.5 hours
To calculate the speed, divide 26.4 by 2.5:
Speed = 10.56 miles/hour
Therefore, the person's speed during the marathon was approximately 10.56 miles per hour.
