Question

How far can you drive in 2 minutes if your driving at 70 mph

Answer 1

2.33 miles

Explanation:

We have to find out how far we can drive in 2 minutes... at a speed of 70 miles per 60 minutes.

So let's divide 60 minutes until we get 2 minutes.

60 minutes / 30 = 2 minutes

Okay, cool. We have reduced 60 minutes to 2 minutes!

Now let's apply the same deduction to the miles per hour to find our answer:

70 miles / 30 = 2.33 miles

Answer 2

Answer: 1.167

Step-by-step explanation: So in one minute it will drive 1/60 of 70 miles [ 1/60 * 70], or 70/60, which equals 1.167 miles.
