Answer:
Your velocity is 10 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be solved as a simple rule of three problem.
In a rule of three problem, the first step is identifying the measures and how they are related, if their relationship is direct of inverse.
When the relationship between the measures is direct, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure is going to increase too.
When the relationship between the measures is inverse, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure will decrease.
Here, our measures are:
- The distance you ran, in miles
- The time you spent running.
As the time increases, so does the distance, it means there is a direct relationship between the measures.
Each hour has 60 minutes. You ran 3 miles in 18 minutes. So how many miles you ran in 60 minutes?
3 miles - 18 minutes
x miles - 60 minutes
18x = 180
[tex]x = \frac{180}{18}[/tex]
x = 10 miles.
Your velocity is 10 miles per hour.
