Gavin's anemometer measures the wind speed at 44.14 kilometers per hour. 4 times faster than the wind speed 5 hours ago. What was the wind speed 5 hours ago?

44.14/4 = ?

what is the real answer

11.035

8.828

To find the wind speed 5 hours ago, we need to consider that Gavin's anemometer measures the current wind speed as 4 times faster than the wind speed 5 hours ago.

Let's call the wind speed 5 hours ago "v" in kilometers per hour.

Given that Gavin's anemometer measures the current wind speed as 44.14 kilometers per hour, which is 4 times faster than the wind speed 5 hours ago, we can set up the following equation:

44.14 = 4v

To solve for "v," divide both sides of the equation by 4:

v = 44.14 / 4

Calculating this, we find:

v ≈ 11.04 kilometers per hour

Therefore, the wind speed 5 hours ago was approximately 11.04 kilometers per hour.
