Answer:
7.5mph (1 d.p)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, I worked out what a third of an hour was to match the unit mph.
60 minutes / 3 = 20 mins
A third of an hour is 20minutes so two thirds of an hour is 40 minutes.
But as we know, one third as a decimal is 0.33(reccuring) so therefore two thirds as a decimal is 0.66, which we need to use.
Now, we need to remember the equation. Speed = distance / time
Place the facts we already know in place.
speed = 5miles / 0.66 (using a calculator.)
speed = 7.5mph (1 d.p)
Hope this helps and you have a good day!
