Jay wrote his bike 48 miles and two and 2/5 hours and Maria wrote her bike 60 miles and 3 and 1/3 hours what was each person's speed in miles per hour Express the answers in simplest form

Answer 1

To find Jay's speed, we divide the distance he rode by the time it took him: 48 miles / 2.4 hours = <<48/2.4=20>>20 mph.
To find Maria's speed, we divide the distance she rode by the time it took her: 60 miles / 3.33 hours = 18 mph. Answer: \boxed{20 \text{ mph} \text{ and } 18 \text{ mph}}.
