Question

An airplane traveled 480 miles in 1 hour. If it traveled at the same speed for the entire hour, how many miles did it travel in 1 minute?

Answer 1

So in 1 hour the plane traveled 480 miles. There are 60 minutes in one hour. So to find the distance it would travel in one minute divide 480 by 60 to get your answer, 8 miles a minute.
