Question

If you divide speed in miles per minute by 60 you get the same speed expressed in miles per hour___

Answer 1

False. You would have to multiply speed in miles per minute by 60 to get speed in miles per hour.

Answer 2

Answer:

False . Correct statement is - If you divide speed in miles per minute by 60 you get the same speed expressed in miles per second .

Explanation:

If x miles distance traveled in time, t= 1 minute or 60 seconds at certain speed v given by

v= x miles/minutes

Then  $\frac{x}{60}$ distance will be traveled with same speed in time, t= 1/60 minutes or 1 second

In this case also speed is same given by  , v= x/60 miles/seconds

=>v= $x \frac{miles}{minute}=\frac{x}{60}\frac{miles}{second}$

Thus  If you divide speed in miles per minute by 60 you get the same speed expressed in miles per second .
