If Melissa walked 5 miles home from school. She walked a total of 25 blocks. She left school at 2:45 and arrived home @ 4:00. What was her average speed walking home in miles per hour
-----------------------
time = 1 1/4 hrs
Distance = 5 miles
-----------------------
rate = distance/time = 5/(5/4) = 4 mph
