Luis rode his skateboard home from school at an average speed of 15 miles per hour. It took him 0.5 hours to get home. How far from his home is Luis’s school?

Answer 1

To find the distance from Luis's school to his home, we can use the formula for distance:

\[ \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} \]

Given that Luis's average speed is 15 miles per hour and it took him 0.5 hours to get home, we can substitute these values into the formula:

\[ \text{Distance} = 15 , \text{miles per hour} \times 0.5 , \text{hours} \]

Calculating the distance:

\[ \text{Distance} = 15 \times 0.5 = 7.5 , \text{miles} \]

Therefore, the distance from Luis's school to his home is 7.5 miles.
