To find John's average speed in miles per hour (mph), you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Average speed} = \frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Total time}}
\]
John runs a total distance of 6.0 miles in a total time of 2 hours. Plugging in these values:
\[
\text{Average speed} = \frac{6.0 \text{ miles}}{2 \text{ hours}} = 3.0 \text{ mph}
\]
Therefore, John's average speed is **3.0 mph** when rounded to the nearest tenth.
\[
\text{Average speed} = \frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Total time}}
