Answer:
7.5 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Mr. Ward runs a lot. He ran 45 minutes each day, 5 days each week, for 16 weeks.
First of all, we will find time for that Mr. Ward ran in 16 weeks.
We will multiply 5 by 16 to find number of days for that Mr. Ward ran and then we will multiply the result by 45 minutes to find the time.
[tex]\text{Time for that Mr. Ward ran in 16 weeks}=16\times 5\times 45\text{ minutes}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Time for that Mr. Ward ran in 16 weeks}=3600\text{ minutes}[/tex]
Now, we will divide 3600 minutes by 60 minutes to convert time into hours as:
[tex]\text{Hours}=\frac{3600}{60}=60[/tex]
Now, we will divide 450 miles by 60 hours to find Mr. Ward's average speed as:
[tex]\text{Mr. Ward's average speed}=\frac{450\text{ miles}}{\text{60 hours}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Mr. Ward's average speed}=\frac{7.5\text{ miles}}{\text{ Hour}}[/tex]
Therefore, Mr. Ward's average speed in 7.5 miles per hour.
