Answers to Cranium Crackers Speed Puzzle
A puzzle song states an average speed of 34 and two seventh miles per hour. It shows example calculations: 30 miles in 60 minutes equals 0.5 minutes per mile, 40 miles in 50 minutes equals 1.5 minutes per mile, and averaging 2 minutes with 1.75 minutes per mile yields 1.75 minutes per mile. Converting this interval gives 34 2/7 mph.
