Answer:

10km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Distance covered by both Dee and Ron= 20km

Ron's speed = 8km/hr

Dee made three 10 minute stops during the race.

Time it took Ron to cover 20km

Time = distance / speed

20km / 8km/hr = 2.5 hours = 150 minutes

Since they both tied ;

Running time of Dee = (150 - (3*10)) = 120 minutes = 2 hours

Ron's speed = distance / time

Speed = 20 km / 2hours

Speed = 10km/hr
