Best Answer

I will try to lay it out to show my work:
D=R•T
The distance required to walk is 5 miles, and the rate is 6 mph. That means that there are no unit conversions necessary, so you can just plug them into the equation:
5=6T
Now, you simply solve for T:
5/6=6T/6
T=5/6
Now, you know the amount of time it took was 5/6 of an hour. To make your answer more precise, you need to commence a unit conversion:
5 hours/6 • 60 minutes/1 hour
Then, the hours cancel out, so you get:
5•60 minutes/6
Then, you just solve!
50 minutes
I hope that helped! Once again, your final answer is 50 minutes!

Why Bob and her and not Bob and she?

Both terms can be correct depending on the use. At an early age, we have it drummed into us to say "Bob and I" or "Bob and she". It is not always correct. Compare these sentences: We would not say "Her walked towards me" but "She walked towards me" is correct. If Bob is with her, the sentence will read "Bob and she walked towards me". "She" is still the right word to use. Now look at these: "I walked towards her" is also correct and therefore if we include Bob, the sentence should read "I walked towards Bob and her". We would never say "I walked towards she". "She" is used as a subject, the one who is doing something. "Her" is used as an object, when something is done to her or for her. The rules are quite consistent whether it is one person or more than one person.

Can you calculate your average speed while walking at different speeds?

For the speed of a single pedestrian, measure the time it takes him/her to walk a set distance (for example 10 meters) and divide the distance by the time. For the average speed of a pedestrian find a large number of people and measure the speed of each person and find the average by summing all the speeds and dividing by the number of people who took the test.

Lily walked 2 blocks east then 1 block south How would you determine her total displacement?

The total displacement will be calculated using Pythagoras theorem. The distance traveled will form the two sides of the triangle. Hence we have to calculate the hypotenuse side using the formula Square root of (2 power 2 + 1 power 2)=Square root(5)=2.23
