Question

Devin in travel from Florida to New Jersey by car. The car traveled 800 miles in 12 hours. Find the speed in feet per minute. Show the correct work and correct answer. Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify

`800m/12h = 66(2)/(3)m/h` (66 2/3 miles per hour)

Step 2: Transform hours into minutes by dividing by 60

`66(2)/(3)m/h / 60\\`

`1(1)/(9) m/m` (1 1/9 miles per minute)

Step 3: Transform miles into feet by multiplying by 5280

`1(1)/(9)*5280`

`5866(2)/(3)f/m\\\\`

or
`5866.667f/m` (feet per minute)
