So if you want to solve this, you need to make all the units the same first. What you first need to work on is the rate, since what it is asking is minutes given distance in feet.

We know that there are:

5280 ft in a mile

60 minutes in an hour

We then convert the rate knowing this:

$\dfrac{174\:miles}{4\:hours}\times\dfrac{5280ft}{1\:mile}\times\dfrac{1hour}{60\:minutes} = \dfrac{918,720ft}{240\:minutes} = \dfrac{3828\:feet}{1 minute}$

In short, the car is traveling 3,828 ft every minute.

To determine how many minutes it will take for the car to travel just remember that:

$speed=\dfrac{distance\:travelled}{time}\;\rightarrow\;time=\dfrac{distance\;travelled}{speed}$

Now we plug in what we know and solve what we don't know:

$time=\dfrac{1000feet}{\dfrac{3828ft}{1minute}}\;\rightarrow\;1000ft\times\dfrac{1\:minute}{3828ft}=0.26\:minutes$

If you have a 100 point test and you have a c, what grade will you have if u get a d if

JulsSmile [24]

Probably a C-, but it depends on how many other grades are in the gradebook and the exact percentage of your grade.

Tom spent 1/6 of the day working in the flower bed. Tom spent 2/3 of that time adding mulch to the flower bed. What fraction of

maxonik [38]

Since 1/6 of the day was spent in the flower bed and 2/3 of that was spreading mulch, we need to find 2/3 of 1/6 to find out how much of the day was spreading the mulch.

In math "of" means times
"is" means equals

2/3 of 1/6 is

translates to

2/3 x 1/6 =

Now we just multiply the numerators across and denominators across then reduce if possible...

2/3 x 1/6 = 2/18

2 and 18 both divide by 2 so it reduces

2/18 = 1/9

Tom spent 1/9 of the day spreading mulch.
