Question

sam ran 63,756 feet in 70 minutes what is sams rate in miles per hour? (there are 5,280 feet in one mile)

Answer 1

Divide total feet by feet in a mile:

63,756/5280 = 12.075 miles

Divide 70 minutes by 60 minutes per hour:

70/60 = 1.166666 hours( round to 1.17)

Miles per hour = total miles/ total hours:

12.075/1.17 = 10.32 miles per hour
