Question 1165521: Mr. Sala went rollerblading at the trail by Vollmer Road. The trail is a 3.6 mile loop. He went around the trail 3 times in 47 minutes. What speed did Mr. Sala travel in miles per hour?

He ran 10.8 miles in 47 minutes, since 3.6*3=10.8
10.8/47 as x/60
648=47x
x=13.79 mph
Check--each lap took him 15 2/3 min or 0.261 hours.
3.6 miles in 0.261 hours is 13.79 mph
