To find the average speed in miles per hour, divide the distance by the time in hours. Since the jogger covers 1 mile in 24 minutes, first convert 24 minutes to hours by dividing by 60 (24/60 = 0.4 hours). Then, divide the distance (1 mile) by the time in hours (0.4 hours) to get the speed in miles per hour: 1 mile / 0.4 hours = 2.5 miles per hour.
