Question

How do I find miles per hour when I get minutes and miles

Answer 1

In this case you have:

$\frac{miles}{minute}$

An hour has sixty minutes.

$\frac{60 minutes}{1 hour}$

You must multiply by this equality.

$(\frac{miles}{minute})(\frac{60 minutes}{1 hour})=\frac{(miles)(60 minutes)}{ (minute)(hour)}=\frac{(miles)(60)}{(hour)}$


You must multiply by 60 and you can convert miles per minute to miles per hour.
