Chen rode his skateboard 3 3/4 miles in 3/4 of an hour. What was his average speed in miles per hour...
Chen's average speed can be calculated by dividing the total distance he traveled by the total time it took him.
Distance: 3 3/4 miles
Time: 3/4 hour
Average speed = Distance / Time
Average speed = (3 3/4) / (3/4)
Average speed = (15/4) / (3/4)
Average speed = (15/4) x (4/3)
Average speed = 15/3
Average speed = 5 mph
Therefore, Chen's average speed was 5 miles per hour.
U sure
Let's double-check the calculation to ensure its accuracy.
Distance: 3 3/4 miles
Time: 3/4 hour
Average speed = Distance / Time
Average speed = (15/4) / (3/4)
Average speed = (15/4) x (4/3)
Average speed = 15/3
Average speed = 5 mph
Yes, the calculation is correct. Chen's average speed was indeed 5 miles per hour. Thank you for asking for clarification. Let me know if you have any more questions.
