Question

If a car drive a down a street at 40 miles per hour,how many seconds will it take to drive one block (recall that 8 city blocks =1 mile)

Answer 1

1 / 8 (one block) = 0.125 miles
0.125 miles / 40 mph = 0.003125 hours
Now convert it to seconds: 0.003125 * 60(to minutes) * 60(to seconds) =
11.25 seconds
