It takes Bob 40 minutes to arrive at John's house. John lives 1.25 miles away from Bob. What is Bob's pace?

What is the fraction formula?

 

[arthur ohlsten]

Bobs pace must be in terms of distance per time or distance / time!
distance = 1.5 miles
time = 40 minutes

pace = 1.5 miles / [40 minutes] answer
but a better unit of time would be hours, and we should replace 40 minutes with 40/60 of an hour, or 4/6 or 2/3 of an hour]
pace = 1.5 miles /[2/3] to divide by a fraction invert and multiply
pace= 1.5[3] /2
pace= 4.5/2 miles per hour
pace = 2.25 mph

It takes Bob 40 minutes to arrive at John's house. John lives 1.25 miles away from Bob. What is Bob's pace?

What is the fraction formula?

Sorry if I was wrong here . Pace means velocity right ?

d = vt

v = d/t SI units : 40 minutes = 40*60 = 2400 seconds & 1.25 miles = 1.25*1 609.344 = 2010.43 meters

v = 2400/2010.43

v = 1.19 m/s

 

[johntoh]

d = s/t

where d is distance , s- speed , t - time

here d = 1.25 miles

t = 40 mins

s = d*t = 1.25 * 40/60 = 5/6 miles /hr
