Answer:
4miles/hour
Explanation:
the solution for this question requires that the quantities are converted to the appropriate units as required by the question.
Rate in miles per hour = distance in miles / time in hour
to convert 12 minutes to hours; recall that 60 minutes make 1 hour
12 minutes to hour = 12/60 = 0.2hr
to convert 4224 feet to miles; recall 5280 feet is equivalent to 1 mile
4224 feet to miles = 4224/5280 = 0.8 miles
∴ rate = 0.8 / 0.2
rate = 4 miles per hour
the constant rate in miles per hour = 4 miles/hour
