The total distance in miles, the student ran during these 10 days is 26 miles.

What is speed?

The distance covered by the particle or the body in an hour is called speed. It is a scalar quantity. It is the ratio of distance to time.

We know that the speed formula

[tex]\rm Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]

A student ran a distance of 3 and 1/2 miles for 5 days.

Then he travels 3.5 miles in 5 days.

Then the student ran a distance of 4 and 1/4 miles each day for the next 5 days.

The speed of the students is 4.5 miles per day. Then the distance covered in 5 days will be

[tex]\rm Distance = Speed * Time\\\\Distance = 4.5 * 5\\\\Distance = 22.5[/tex]

Then the total distance in miles the student ran during these 10 days will be

Total distance = 22.5 + 3.5 = 26

The total distance in miles, the student ran during these 10 days is 26 miles.
