Answer:
Use conversion:
1 hours = 60 minutes
As per the statement:
A theme park has a tram that goes around the 2.5-mile perimeter of the park in 10 minutes.
⇒ Perimeter of the park = distance = 2.5 miles and
time = 10 minutes = [tex]\frac{10}{60} = \frac{1}{6}[/tex] hours
The equation which gives the speed of the tram:
[tex]s \cdot \frac{1}{6} = 2.5[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 6 we get;
[tex]s = 6 \cdot 2.5 = 15 miles/ hours[/tex]
here, s represents the speed of the tram.
Therefore, the speed of the tram represented by s i.e:
s = 15 miles per hour
