Alicia walks 4 miles in 1 hour and can speed walk 5 miles in 1 hour. What percent of Alicia's average speed walking rate is her average walking rate?

Answer:The % Alicia speed walking is 125 % of average walkingStep-by-step explanation:Given as :Distance cover by Alicia while walking = 4 milesTime taken                                               = 1 hourSo, Speed of Alicia while walking = [tex]\frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex] Or,                                            S 1  =  [tex]\frac{4 miles}{1 hour}[/tex] I.e                                              S 1  =  4 mphAndDistance cover by Alicia while speed walk  = 5 milesTime Taken                                                      = 1 hour So, Speed of Alicia while speed walking = [tex]\frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex] Or,                                            S 2  =  [tex]\frac{5 miles}{1 hour}[/tex] I.e                                              S 2  =  5 mphOr,   % Rate = [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex] ×100 = 125 Hence The % Alicia speed walking is 125 % of average walking  Answer
