Given,
Total distance = 3⅗ miles
Total time = 4/5 hours
To find,
The speed of the Michael.
Solution,
We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.
First of all, we have to simplify the given terms for the sake of easier calculations.
Total distance = 3⅗ miles = 18/5 miles
Total time = 4/5 hours = 4/5×60 = 48 minutes
Now,
Michael can go,
In 48 minutes = 18/5 miles
In 1 minute = 18/5×48
In 60 minutes = 18×60/5×48 = 1080/240 = 4.5 miles
Hence, the speed of Michael is 4.5 miles per hour.
