Answer 2

You drive a car from Milwaukee to Chicago, which is a distance of 150 km and it takes you 95 minutes.

1. We will convert 95 minutes to hours.

This is =
`(95)/(60)=1.583` hours.

In 1 hour the car will travel =
`(150)/(1.583)` = 94.75 km

So, rate is 94.75 km/hour.

2. Now we will convert the value in meter and second.

1 km = 1000 meters

150 km =
`150*1000=150000` meters

1 minute = 60 sec

95 minutes =
`95*60=5700` secs

So, per second the car will travel =
`(150000)/(5700)` = 26.31 meters

Hence, the rate is 26.31 meter per second.
