Mikayla drove 19 miles in 18 minutes

Answer 1

To find Mikayla's speed, we can use the formula for speed, which is distance divided by time.

1. Convert the time from minutes to hours since speed is usually measured in miles per hour (mph). \[ 18 \text{ minutes} = \frac{18}{60} \text{ hours} = 0.3 \text{ hours} \]

2. Calculate the speed: \[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{19 \text{ miles}}{0.3 \text{ hours}} \approx 63.33 \text{ mph} \]

So, Mikayla's speed was approximately 63.33 miles per hour.
