Question

A car is traveling at a rate of 57 miles per hour. What is the car’s rate in miles per minute? How many miles will the car travel in 15 minutes?

Answer 1

Hello!

We have to find how fast the car goes a minute

To find this we can do 57/60 since the car goes 57 miles an hour and there are 60 minutes in an hour

This gives us 0.95 miles a minutes

Then we do how fast the car goes a minute by the amount of minutes

So 0.95 * 15 = 14.25

The car goes 14.25 miles in 15 minutes

Hope this helps!
