Asked by Adriana

One lap around a track is one-eighth of a mile. A horse ran a distance of 11 laps in 3 minutes and 30 seconds. What was the horse's average speed in miles per minute?
Answered by Young Trippy Lil G
9 laps = 9(1/8) or 9/8 miles

speed = (9/8) / 2.5 minutes
= 1.125/2.5 mpm
= .45 miles/min

Young Trippy -- please correct your typo.

Answered by Steve
(11(1/8)mi)/(3 1/2 min) = (11/8)/(7/2) = 11/8 * 2/7 = 11/28 mi/min
