Question

If a car travels 30 1/5 miles in 40 minutes, how much does it travel in an hour?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The car travels 30 1/5 miles in 40 minutes

1hour is equivalent to 60minutes

If car travels 30 1/5 miles in 40min then in 60min it would have traveled = (30 1/5 × 60)/40miles

= (151/5 × 60)/40miles

= (151×12)/40

= 1812/40

= 45.3miles

Or = 45 3/10 mile

Answer 2

30.2miles = 40 minutes

We can divide everything by 2 to make this easier: 15.1 miles = 20 minutes

Multiplying this by 3, we get 45.3 miles = 60 minutes.
