He ran 10.8 miles in 47 minutes, since 3.6*3=10.8
\n" ); document.write( "10.8/47 as x/60
\n" ); document.write( "648=47x
\n" ); document.write( "x=13.79 mph\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check--each lap took him 15 2/3 min or 0.261 hours.
\n" ); document.write( "3.6 miles in 0.261 hours is 13.79 mph
