Question

At soccer training the team ran for 30 minutes at 6 mph your friend incorrectly says that the team render distance of 180 miles what is the correct distance

Answer 1

The team traveled 3 miles.

In order to find the appropriate distance, you need to convert minutes into hours, since that's what the unit rate of is in.

30 minutes/60 minutes in an hour = .5 hours.

Multiply that number by the miles per hour to get .5 * 6 = 3 miles.

Answer 2

Answer:

3 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been at soccer training the team ran for 30 minutes at 6 mph. Your friend incorrectly says that the team render distance of 180 miles. We are asked to find the correct distance covered by the team.

$\text{Distance}=\text{Speed}\times \text{Time}$

Since speed of team is given in miles per hour, so we need to convert our given time into hours.

$1\text{ minute}=\frac{1}{60}\text{ hour}$

$30\text{ minutes}=\frac{30}{60}\text{ hour}=\frac{1}{2}\text{ hour}$

$\text{Distance}=\frac{6\text{ miles}}{\text{Hour}}\times \frac{1}{2}\text{Hour}$

$\text{Distance}=6\text{ miles}\times \frac{1}{2}$

$\text{Distance}=3\text{ miles}$

Therefore, the team covered a distance of 3 miles.
