Beginning Distance, Speed, Time problems

This morning, I walked 2.4 miles in 34.5 minutes. What was my walking speed in miles per hour?
Round your answer to nearest tenth.

Hint: Convert 34.5 minutes to fractional hour by dividing by 60 (60 minutes per hour). For example, 30 minutes is 0.5 hour.

Answer: faster than IV MPH, not as fast as V MPH.
