Question

A car travels 182 miles in 3 hours and 15 minutes. How many miles does it travel per hour?

Answer 1

To solve this, we'll use the formula distance=rate*time. There's just one problem here: we need all of our time to be in the same units. Let's convert the 15 minutes into hours:

`15min*(1hour)/(60min)=0.25hr`

Then we just use the formula:

`d=182*0.25`

Answer 2

15 minutes = 15/60 = 0.25 hrs + the 3 hrs = 3.25 hrs

182 / 3.25 = 56 miles per hr
