A Marathon runner runs 10 1/2 miles in 2 hrs. What is her rate?

Write an expression to represent the problem.

Solve the problem.

Rate= 5.25

(10 1/2) / 2 = ______ mph

Right.

Thank u Ms.Sue

You're welcome, Amy.

To find the runner's rate, we need to divide the distance she ran by the time it took her to run it. So, the expression to represent this problem is:

Rate = Distance / Time

Now let's solve the problem. The distance the runner ran is given as 10 1/2 miles, which can also be written as 10.5 miles. The time it took her to run this distance is 2 hours.

Substituting these values into the expression:

Rate = 10.5 miles / 2 hours

Dividing 10.5 miles by 2 hours gives us a rate of 5.25 miles per hour.

So, the runner's rate is 5.25 miles per hour.
