Thanks!2. pmt853 Says: 30 mph. If he did 60 mph then he'd do a mile every minute and so would do 5 miles in 5 minutes. As he did only half that distance he averaged 30mph. which is 0.5 miles per minute. More simply it's 2.5/5=0.5.3. Masi Says: i learnt this fomula in science.
Speed = Distance / Time.

so your distance is 2.5miles and time is 5 minutes.
you firstly convert 5 minutes into seconds which become 300 seconds.

So now you do D/T=S
2500/300=8.3333

so the speed would be 8 mph
Hope i helped.4. fuzzylogic_y2k Says: 30mph5. Charly Brown Says: "Speed per minute? nobody but you use that speed scale but....
