Answer:

Speed =  36 miles per hour .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : if the distance is 10 miles and it takes 1000 seconds to travel the distance.

To find : what is the rate in mph.

Solution : We have given

Distance = 10  miles .

Time = 1000 second .

We know 1 hour= 3600 second .

1000 second = [tex]\frac{1000}{3600}[/tex] hour.

Speed  =  [tex]\frac{10*3600}{1000[/tex]

Speed =  36 miles per hour .

Therefore, Speed =  36 miles per hour .
