Ashley ran from home to school in 10 minutes. What is her average speed, if the distance between her house and her school is 1.5 miles?

Question

what is the answer

Answer 1

Average speed is in distance over time, so you could write:

1.5 miles / 10 minutes

Now, simplify:

.15 miles per minute

You didn't specify if it had to be miles per hour or per second, feet per second, or anything else, so for now I will stick with this answer. If it is something else, you know how to convert, yes?
