One lap around a track is equal to one-sixth of a mile. A horse ran a

distance of 7 laps in 3 minutes and 20 seconds. What is the horse’s
average speed in miles per minute?

distance = 7(1/6) = 7/6 miles
time = 3 1/3 minutes = 10/3 minutes
= (10/3)/60 hrs = 1/18 hr

speed = distance/time = (7/6) / (1/8) mph
=28/3 mph
or appr 9.3 mph
its 0.6
