minutes. How many miles does he run per minute?
To find the average speed of the skateboarder, we need to divide the total distance traveled by the total time taken.
In this case, the student rode his skateboard for 10 minutes and traveled 1.2 miles. Therefore, the average speed can be calculated as:
Average speed = Total distance / Total time
= 1.2 miles / 10 minutes
To find the average speed in miles per minute, we divide the total distance by the total time:
Average speed = 1.2 miles / 10 minutes
= 0.12 miles per minute
Therefore, the average speed of the skateboarder is 0.12 miles per minute.
