3 answers

To calculate Chen's average speed in miles per hour, you can use the formula:

Average speed = Total distance / Total time

In this case, Chen rode his skateboard 3 3/4 miles in 3/4 of an hour:

Total distance = 3 3/4 miles = 3.75 miles
Total time = 3/4 hours = 0.75 hours

Now, plug these values into the formula:

Average speed = 3.75 miles / 0.75 hours
Average speed = 5 miles per hour

Therefore, Chen's average speed was 5 miles per hour.

Apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Let's correct the calculation:

Chen rode 3 3/4 miles in 3/4 of an hour.

To calculate his average speed, we divide the total distance by the total time:

3 3/4 miles = 3.75 miles
3/4 hour = 0.75 hours

Average speed = 3.75 miles / 0.75 hours
Average speed = 5 miles per hour

Therefore, Chen's average speed was indeed 5 miles per hour. Thank you for your understanding.
