Answer:
1.5mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Given parameters:
Distance sailed = [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex]miles
Time taken = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]hr
Unknown:
Unit rate of sail in miles hour = ?
Solution:
This is also the speed of the sail. It is the distance divided by time taken.
Speed = [tex]\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]
Speed = [tex]\frac{\frac{3}{8} }{\frac{1}{4} }[/tex]
Speed = [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] x 4 = 1.5mph
