Answer:
Nia will run 6.24 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Average speed of Nia (s) = 5.2 mph
Total time of run (t) = 1 hour 12 minutes
Distance traveled (D) = ?
First, let us convert time completely into hours.
We know that, 1 min = [tex]\frac{1}{60}\ h[/tex]
Therefore, 12 min = [tex]\frac{12}{60}= 0.2\ h[/tex]
Hence, 1 hour 12 min = 1 hour + 0.2 hour = 1.2 hours
Time (t) = 1.2 hours
Now, distance traveled is given as:
Distance = Speed × Time
[tex]D=s\times t\\\\D=(5.2\ mph)\times (1.2\ h)\\\\D=6.24\ mi[/tex]
Therefore, Nia will run 6.24 miles.
