Jane starts from her house to take a stroll in her neighborhood. After walking for 2 hours at a steady pace, she has walked 4 miles and is 2 miles from home. For this time, what was her speed?

A. 4 mph

B. 3 mph

C. 2 mph

D. 1mph

C. 2 mph

Explanation:

speed equals total distance covered in total time of of travel

since,

total distance = 4 miles

time taken = 2 hrs

speed = 4m / 2hrs = 2mph

Answer: C. 2mph

Explanation:

Speed is the rate of change in distance. Since distance has to do with how far an object has gone, it means we will only take consideration of how far she has walked which is 4miles.

Mathematically, Speed = Distance/time

Given distance = 4miles and time = 2hours

Speed = 4miles/2hours

= 2miles/hour i. e 2mph
