Question

A car drives at 60mph for 90 secs what is the distnace travelled?

Answer 1

The distance traveled is about .66 miles because you would divide 60 by 90=.66

Answer 2

Answer:

1.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

this is miles per hour rate so you convert hour to minute ,and then from minute to seconds

you will get

$1 hour = 60minute = 3600seconds$

as every minute has 60 seconds

you then use the conversion factor

$60 \frac{miles}{hour} \times \frac{hour}{3600 \: seconds}$

you will see that hour cancel each other and the result is

$\frac{1}{60} \frac{miles}{second}$

you will multiply the seconds with this rate

$\frac{1}{60} \frac{miles}{second} \times 90 \:second$

you will see that second cancel with each other

you will get the answer
