Mr. Cole took a walk with his wife.
They walked 4.4 miles in 1.4 hours.
So we have
Distance = 4.4 miles
Time = 1.4 hours
We are asked to find the average speed in miles per hour.
The average speed is given by
[tex]S=\frac{D}{t}[/tex]Where D is the distance and t is the time.
[tex]S=\frac{4.4}{1.4}=3.142[/tex]Therefore, their average speed is 3.142 miles per hour.
