Question 99506: Goldie goldfish loves to race the parks pond, which is 0.5 miles around. If she can swim 20 laps around the track in 2 hours, what is her average speed Answer by doukungfoo(195) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Ok first thing we need to know is the formula to find average speed.
The pond is 0.5 miles around and Goldie completed 20 laps.
So the distance traveled is 0.5 times 20
The time is given as 2 hours.
Now we can find average speed.
10 divided by 2 gives and average speed of 5 miles per hour
