Answer:
The average speed was of 2 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Average speed:
Average speed is distance divided by time.
Distance:
Solved by proportions, using rule of three.
1800 steps - x miles
10,000 steps - 5 miles
[tex]10000x = 5(1800)[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{9000}{10000}[/tex]
[tex]x = 0.9[/tex]
Distance of 0.9 miles.
Using a time of 27 minutes to complete the event, calculate your average speed.
Distance of 0.9 miles in 27/60 of an hour. So
[tex]d = \frac{0.9}{\frac{27}{60}} = \frac{60(0.9)}{27} = 2[/tex]
The average speed was of 2 miles per hour.
