Question

John ran 3/4 of a mile in 6 minutes. What is his speed in miles per minute?

Answer 1

Answer:

in 6 minute john ran=3/4mile

in 1 minute john ran=(3/4)×1/6

=1/8

it means john ran 1 mile into 8 minutes

his speed is 0.125miles per minute

Answer 2

in 6 minutes john runs 3/4 mile

therefore in one minute john runs 3/(4*6)

=1/8 miles per minute

=0.125 miles per minute

assuming that the speed is constant john runs at a speed of 0.125 miles per minute
