Mikaela is competing in a race in which she both runs and rides a bicycle. She runs 5 kilometers in 0.5 hour and rides her bicycle 20 kilometers in 0.8 hour

Answer 1

To find Mikaela's average speed for both running and biking, we need to calculate the total distance she travels and the total time it takes her.

First, let's calculate the total distance:

She runs 5 kilometers + rides her bicycle 20 kilometers = <<5+20=25>>25 kilometers

Next, let's calculate the total time:

She runs for 0.5 hours + rides her bicycle for 0.8 hours = <<0.5+0.8=1.3>>1.3 hours

Now, we can calculate her average speed:

Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time
Average Speed = 25 kilometers / 1.3 hours

Simplifying the calculation:

Average Speed = 19.23 kilometers per hour

Therefore, Mikaela's average speed for both running and biking is 19.23 kilometers per hour.
