Answer:
Waylon ran at a speed of 9 miles per hour.
Explanation:
A hour equals to 60 minutes, then, the equivalent time is found:
[tex]t = 25\,min \times \left(\frac{1}{60}\,\frac{h}{min} \right)[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{5}{12}\,h[/tex]
Let suppose that Waylon runs at constant speed, so that equation is equal to:
[tex]v = \frac{s}{t}[/tex]
Where:
[tex]v[/tex] - Speed, measured in miles per hour.
[tex]s[/tex] - Travelled distance, measured in miles.
[tex]t[/tex] - Time, measured in hours.
If we know that [tex]s = 3\,\frac{3}{4}\,mi = \frac{15}{4}\,mi[/tex] and [tex]t = \frac{5}{12}\,h[/tex], then:
[tex]v = \frac{\frac{15}{4}\,mi }{\frac{5}{12}\,h }[/tex]
[tex]v = 9\,\frac{mi}{h}[/tex]
Waylon ran at a speed of 9 miles per hour.
