Sorry, I meant this one: James walked 212 miles in 23 of an hour. What was his average speed, in miles per hour?
To find James' average speed, we need to divide the total distance he walked by the time it took him to walk that distance.
The total distance James walked is given as 212 miles.
The time it took James to walk that distance is given as 23 of an hour.
To convert 23 of an hour into a decimal, we divide 23 by 60 (minutes in an hour):
23 / 60 = 0.3833 (rounded to four decimal places)
Now, we can calculate James' average speed:
Average speed = Total distance / Time taken
Average speed = 212 miles / 0.3833 hours
Dividing 212 by 0.3833, we get:
Average speed ≈ 552.61685 miles per hour
Therefore, James' average speed, rounded to the nearest mile per hour, is approximately 553 miles per hour.
