Answer 1

To solve for Kenneth's speed, we need to express it as a rate of distance to time.

Kenneth walks 2 miles in 40 minutes.

To find the speed, we divide the distance (2 miles) by the time (40 minutes):

Speed = Distance / Time = 2 miles / 40 minutes.

Now, we can simplify this:

Speed = 0.05 miles per minute.

So, Kenneth's speed is 0.05 miles per minute.

To complete the statements, we would select:

• distance = miles
• time = minutes

Kenneth’s speed is 0.05 miles per minute.
