+128707 We have ..... Distance / Time = Rate
So......
10 miles / 2 hrs. = 5 miles / hr = 5 miles per hour
+1006 @CPhill: You're actually wrong, the measure of length is mules, not miles.
Your average speed is 5 mules/hour, though depending on the unit, I guess accomodations can be made for miles and such.
So I guess the true answer is 5 units/hour, where units is any constant measure really.
+118612 You are both wrong.
It is 10 mules/hour but that is not a speed. I don't think that a mule is a distance.
So we are not given enough information to answer this question!
+128707 C'mon folks....let's be reasonable here.....don't you think, maybe, that the questioner accidentally hit the "u" key rather than the "i" key....since they are next to each other on the keyboard??
I believe my answer is just fine.........if we allow for a few hunan foibles along the way.....

Your response seems reasonable. But we cannot squander opportunities when they present themselves. It’s so … hunan. (goog one, CPhill)
It takes a 10 Mule team to answer most math questions, here. However, it takes a 20 Mule Team to troll for humor. How come you deleted the “Recommendation to Admin”? GL should be honored to have an icon named after him. (Giddy-up Frances, before they start shooting at us).
BTW: His response to you is actually funny, but I doubt the humor was intentional. -----

.... He really can talk too.... Are you sure you don’t want to undelete the post?
Melody, I am sure was busting your rump. Head mistresses know how to use rulers for more than measuring!
P.S. No comment on who made the original 10 mule post.
Your friendly neighborhood “mile” buster…
