    22.35 m/s

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The distance is always a positive unit, so distance traveled (d) = 15 miles

    Time (t) = 0.3 hours

    Time (t) = 0.3 * 60 = 18 minutes

    (1 hour = 60 minutes)

    Velocity (v) = ?

    The formula of distance is: d = v*t

    => v = d/t = 15/18 = 0.83 miles/minute

    we can also calculate velocity is meter/sec, for that

    1 minute = 60 sec

    => 18 mins = 18*60 = 1080 sec

    1 mile = 1609.34 meters

    => 15 miles = 15 * 1609.34 = 24,140 m

    hence,

    v = 24,140/1080 = 22.35 m/s
