To find the horse's speed in miles per hour (mph), we can use the formula for speed:
[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} ]
Given that the thoroughbred can run 1/2 mile in about 3/4 minute, we convert the time to hours by dividing by 60 (since there are 60 minutes in an hour):
[ \text{Time in hours} = \frac{3/4}{60} ]
Next, we plug the distance (1/2 mile) and the time in hours into the speed formula:
[ \text{Speed} = \frac{1/2}{\frac{3/4}{60}} ]
Simplifying the expression inside the fraction by multiplying by the reciprocal of the denominator:
[ \text{Speed} = \frac{1/2}{\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{60}} ]
[ \text{Speed} = \frac{1/2}{\frac{1}{20}} ]
[ \text{Speed} = \frac{1/2 \times 20}{1} ]
[ \text{Speed} = 10 \text{ mph} ]
Therefore, the horse's speed is 10 miles per hour.
