Answer:
speed = distance/ time so:
(2/7) / (2/5) = (2/7) x (5/2) = 10/14 = 5/7 mph
5/7 = 0.71 miles per hour if you need decimal formatStep-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
2/7 miles in 2/5 hours.
to bring this to x miles / 1 hour, we must find the factor for 2/5 to turn into 1.
2/5 × f = 1
f = 5/2
in order to keep the value of the original ratio, we now need to multiply also 2/7 by the same factor (5/2).
2/7 × 5/2 = 10/14 = 5/7
so, the unit rate is 5/7 miles / hour.
which is very slow walking.
