Question

A car is traveling at a speed of 75 miles per hour. What is the car's speed in miles per minute? How many miles will the car travel in 15 minutes? Do not round your answers.

Answer 1

The car is going 1.25 miles per minute. To get this toy divide 75 (the miles per hour) by 60 (the amount of minutes in an hour) to get 1.25. In 15 minutes the car will travel 18.75 miles. To get this you multiply 1.25 (amount of miles per minute) by 15 (the amount of time given) to get 18.75.

Answer 2

75/60=x
X=1.25
15x1.25=18.75 miles
