The simple formula for velocity is v=d/t. Velocity equals distance divided by time. 360 miles divided by 180 minutes. 360/180=2. The car travels at 2 miles per MINUTE.
Now, to change to miles per HOUR. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so 2*60=120 miles per hour.
Answer: 120 mph
Answer:
8 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w represent the width.
If the length is 14 inches longer than the width, it can be represented by w + 14.
Use the perimeter formula, p = 2l + 2w. Plug in 60 as the perimeter and w + 14 as l, then solve for w:
p = 2l + 2w
60 = 2(w + 14) + 2w
60 = 2w + 28 + 2w
60 = 4w + 28
32 = 4w
8 = w
So, the width is 8 inches
