Question

Austin is riding his dirt bike at a speed of 350 feet per minute. How many yards would he have traveled in 2.5 hours? (HINT: 3 feet in 1 yard)

Answer 1

Answer:

17,500 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of Austin's bike = 350 ft per minute

Given 3 feet in 1 yard

Now converting speed from  ft/min to yard per minute

3 feet equal 1 yard  (dividing both side by 3)

1 feet equals 1/3 yards

350 ft equals 350*1/3 yards

350 ft equals 350/3 yards

speed of bike in yards per minute = 350/3 yards per minute

______________________________________

Time for which bike traveled = 2.5 hour

one hour has 60 minutes

2.5 hour has 60*2.5 minutes

2.5 hour has 150 minutes

Time for which bike traveled in minutes = 150 minutes

________________________________________

formula for distance = speed * time

substituting value of  speed and time in above equation we have

distance =  350/3 * 150 = 17,500 yards

Distance traveled by Austin's bike in 2.5 hours is 17,500 yards.
