Jacey Cardenas · Answer 1

B-2.5mph You divide 10 (how far you went) by 4 (the amount of time it took you) which gives you 2.5 (the amount of time it takes you to walk 1 mile) To check: It takes you 2.5 hours to walk 1 mile so multipling 2.5 by 4 tells you how far you walked in 4 hours

Izabella Deleon · Answer 2

The answer would be B) 2.5 miles per hour.

Number of miles travelled in an hour = 10/4 = 2.5

Sorry to say but I am pretty sure D) isn't the answer.
