Calculating with variables

Now that you have assigned your run times and distances to variables, you want to process these times to calculate your average speed over the two runs.

You can calculate the speed using:

$$\text{speed} = \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}}$$

The variables monday_distance, wednesday_distance, monday_time, and wednesday_time are all available in your environment.

Instructions

100 XP
  • Calculate the total miles run by adding monday_distance and wednesday_distance and dividing their total by 1609.
  • Calculate the total number of hours spent running by adding monday_time and wednesday_time and dividing their total by 60.
  • Calculate the average run speed across the two runs in miles per hour.
  • Print the average run speed.
