Answer:
The speed or rate is 6.322 miles/hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Todd jogs 51 feet in 5.5 seconds.
To find : What is todds rate in miles per hour?
Solution :
The distance Todd jogs is 51 feet.
Convert feet into miles,
1 feet = [tex]\frac{1}{5280}[/tex] miles
51 feet = [tex]\frac{51}{5280}[/tex] miles
51 feet =0.0096590 miles
The time taken is 5.5 seconds.
Convert second into hour,
1 second = [tex]\frac{1}{3600}[/tex] hour
5.5 second = [tex]\frac{5.5}{3600}[/tex] hour
5.5 second =0.001527 hour
The speed formula is given by,
[tex]\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distnace}}{\text{Time}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Speed}=\frac{0.0096590}{0.001527}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Speed}=6.322[/tex]
Therefore, the speed or rate is 6.322 miles/hour.
