What is the average speed to run 6 mile in 1hr 5min?

Answer 1

1 h 5 min = 1 + 1/12 hours = 1.08333333 (repeating) hours

6/1.08333333 = 5.5384615384615384615384615384632

6/ 13/12 = 72/13 mph = above number

Let me explain:

If you want to run 6 miles in 1 hr and 5 min, you should first convert the time into one unit. The person above used hours to get a final answer in miles per hour. It makes more mathematical sense (less practical sense), however, to convert to minutes, which would be 65. if we want an average rate, we want "per something," which is understood to be singular. So take the miles, 6, and divide by the minutes, 65, will give you the average speed of 0.0923 miles per minute. Multiplying that number by 60, the number of minutes in an hour, will give you the 5.538 miles per hour that the other guy explained so eloquently.
