Question 560698: A hiker walks 2 miles in 45 minutes whats the average speed?
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
d = rt

2 = r(45)

2/45 = r

r = 0.0444


So the average speed is 0.0444 miles per minute. Multiply by 60 to get 2.664 miles per hour.
