Question 412700: I would also like to know the formula for solving this problem. If a horse traveled a distance of one mile in one minute fifty seven one fifth seconds what was its rate of speed? Thank you Found 2 solutions by Alan3354, rfer:Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! distance = rate * time or d = rt
That's the formula.
------------------
1 mile = r * 117.2 seconds
r = 1 mi/117.2 seconds
r =~ 0.008532 miles per second
---------------------
PS There is no "rate of speed", there's rate, and there's speed. They're the same thing.
