We are required to convert the speed from miles per hour to miles per minute; speed of the car=50 mph the speed in miles per minute will be as follows; 1 hr=60 min thus the speed will be given by: speed=distance/time =(50 miles)/(1 hours) =(50 miles)/(60 min) =5/6 m/min thus the distance traveled in 10 min will be: distance=speed*time =5/6*10 =8 1/3 miles
