Given:
Speed = 3 mph
Time = 30 minutes
Let's determine how far(distance) the runner travelled.
To find the distance, apply the formula:
[tex]Dis\tan ce=speed\ast time[/tex]Since the time is in minutes, let's convert to hours by dividing the time by 60 minutes.
Thus, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} D=3\ast\frac{30}{60} \\ \\ D=3\ast\frac{1}{2} \\ \\ D=1.5\text{ m} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the runner travelled 1.5 miles
