Joy ran 13 miles in 3 and 1/4 hours. What was her average rate?

Sagot :

Answer:  4 miles per hour.


Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance ran by Joy= 13 miles

Total time taken by Joy =3 and 1/4 hours

[tex]=3+\frac{1}{4}\ hours\\=\frac{13}{4}\ hours[/tex]

The average rate of running= [tex]\frac{\text{total distance}}{\text{time taken}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{13}{\frac{13}{4}}=\frac{4}{1}=4\text{ miles per hour}[/tex]

Hence, her average rate=4 miles per hour.
