Question

An expression to convert 50 miles per hour to miles per minute is shown.

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = 60$

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert from miles per hour to miles per minute we must convert hours to minutes.

We know that in 1 hour there are 60 minutes,

Then we use the following conversion factor. $\frac{1\ hour}{60\ minutes}$

Finally the expression will be:

$\frac{50\ miles}{1\ hour}*\frac{1\ hour}{60\ minutes}$

Then notice that:

$x = 60$

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to convert 50 miles per hour to miles per minute.

Now, we know that 1 hour = 60 minutes

So, we can write

$50mph=\frac{50miles}{1hr}$

This can be further written as when converted to miles/min.

Use 1 hour = 60 minutes

$50miles/min=\frac{50miles}{1hr}\times\frac{1hr}{60 min}$

Comparing with the given expression, we get

x = 60
