Question

Traveling at 65 miles/hour, how many feet can you travel in 22 minutes? How do you know?

Answer 1

Keeping in mind that there are 5280 feet in 1 mile, and 60 minutes in 1 hour.

$\bf \cfrac{65~\underline{miles}}{\underline{hr}}\cdot \cfrac{5280~ft}{\underline{miles}}\cdot \cfrac{\underline{hr}}{60~min}\implies \cfrac{65\cdot 5280~ft}{60~min}\implies \cfrac{343200~ft}{60~min} \\\\\\ 5720\frac{ft}{min}$

now, if you can do 5720 feet in 1 minute, how many can you travel in 22 minutes?

well, just 22 * 5720.

Answer 2

65 miles per hour


feet in a mile: 5,280 ft


65 divided by 60= 1.08 miles per minute

22 x 1.08 = 23.76 miles

23.76 mi x 5,280 ft = 125,452.8 ft in 22 minutes
