Answer 2

Given - Distance - 3.5 miles

Time - 30 minutes.

Find - Speed of person.

Solution - Speed is calculated by the help of formula - distance / time.

Since the speed is required in miles per hour, thus time will be converted in hours.

As we know, 60 minutes - 1 hour

30 minutes - 0.5 hour.
