Question 626461
18 seconds * (1 min/60 seconds)*(1 hr/60 min) = 0.005 hours


264 feet * (1 mile/5280 feet) = 0.05 miles


-------------------------------------------------------


d = rt


0.05 = r*0.005


0.05/0.005 = r


10 = r


r = 10


So the runner's speed is <font color="red">10 miles per hour</font>.
