A hiker can walk 2 miles in 43 minutes.
What is his average speed in miles per hour? Round your answer to two decimal places.
The hiker's average speed is ___ miles per hour.
What formula can be used to find the distance travel, d, in miles in t hours?
He must walk 1 mile in half of 43 minutes.
43/2 = 21.5 minutes
its not 21.5, its asling8fpr HOURS, and the 43 are MINUTES
asking *
43/60 = hours
miles/hour
2 divided by 43/60
2 times 60/43
120/43 divide and round to 2 decimal places
distance = rate x time
distance = (your answer from above) * time
Oops! Sorry. I misread the problem.
Let's use a proportion.
2/43 = x/60
43x = 120
x = 2.79 miles an hour
To find the average speed in miles per hour, we need to convert the given time from minutes to hours and then divide the distance by the time.
First, let's convert the time of 43 minutes to hours. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we divide 43 minutes by 60 to get the time in hours:
43 minutes ÷ 60 = 0.7167 hours (rounded to four decimal places)
The distance the hiker can walk is given as 2 miles.
Now, we can calculate the average speed by dividing the distance (2 miles) by the time (0.7167 hours):
Average speed = distance ÷ time
Average speed = 2 miles ÷ 0.7167 hours
Calculating this gives us:
Average speed = 2.7898 miles per hour (rounded to four decimal places)
Rounding this to two decimal places, we get the hiker's average speed as 2.79 miles per hour.
So, the hiker's average speed is 2.79 miles per hour.
Now, let's address the second part of your question. The formula to find the distance, d, in miles in t hours is:
Distance (d) = Average speed (v) × Time (t)
Therefore, to find the distance traveled, we multiply the average speed by the time.
Distance (d) = v × t
