Three runners are jogging from North Augusta to Beech Island. Runner 1 runs 14 miles in 3 hours while .Runner 2 runs 16 miles in 4 hours. Runner 3 runs 15 miles in 6 hours. What is the average speed of each runner?

Runner 1,2 and 3 ran at a average speed of 4.67 , 4 and 2.5 miles per hour respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

We can all agree that speed equals distance divided by time and we are asked to find out the average speed of this 3 people.

---Average speed of runner 1

Speed = distance / time

Since he ran 14 miles within 3 hours

S = 14/3

The average speed was 4.67 miles pet hour

---For runner 2,

Speed = distance / time

Since he ran 16 miles in 4 hours,

Average speed = 16/4

= 4 miles per hour

---For runner 3,

Speed = distance / time

Since he ran 15 miles under 6 hours,

Average speed = 15/6

= 2.5 miles per hour

answer4 to the second power is 16

and 4 to the third power is 64,
