Question 887105: A group of friends hiked 25 of a mile in 14 of an hour.
Select all of the statements about this rate that are true.
1:Divide 25 by 14 to find the unit rate per hour.
2:The average speed will be less than 1 mile per hour because the numerator is greater than the denominator.
3:The group hiked at an average speed of 135 miles per hour.
4:The average speed will be greater than 1 mile per hour because the numerator is greater than the denominator. Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Is it ".25 of a mile"? "25 of a mile" doesn't make grammatical sense.
Same with "14 of an hour". I'm going to assume it's of an hour and .25 of a mile. If not, please repost.
.
If they hiked .25 (a quarter) of a mile in (a quarter) of an hour, then their rate of speed is 1 mile per hour.
That renders 2,3,& 4 false.
As for #1, the given (or assumed here) numbers are first in decimal, then in fractions. You have to convert to one or the other to find the rate of speed. It's also false.
.
IF the numbers are indeed 25 and 14, then...
Divide 25 by 14 to get the rate of speed -- 1.79 mph (#1=true, then) =1.79 renders #2 false and #4 true.
#3 is just silly, unless you're The Flash.
