Distance between the two cities:
453 - 333 = 120 miles.
Rest area is 2/3 of the way:
120 x 2/3 = 240/3 = 80 miles.
Divide the miles to the rest stop by his speed:
80 miles/ 60 miles per hour = 1 and 1/3 hours as a fraction. 1.3333 as a decimal( round as needed.
( 1 hour and 20 minutes)

Answer:
In 1 min a gazelle runs 3,900 ft.
As a fraction, 1/65
In order to find the solution to this problem you could use a table.
Since we are using seconds we have to convert the 1 min = 60 seconds.
<u>Sec</u><u> | 12 | 60</u>
<u>Fts</u><u> | 780 | x </u>
12 goes into 60 5 times, so we have to multiply 780 by 5 which gives us 3900.
x=3900
