Answer:
2640 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's make a proportion using this:
feet/seconds=feet/seconds
We know the car travels 88 feet in 2 seconds.
88/2=feet/seconds
We don't know how many feet the car can travel in 1 minute (which is equal to 60 seconds).So, the car travels x feet in 60 seconds.
88/2=x/60
We want to solve for x. To do this, we have to get x by itself. x is being divided by 60. Multiply both sides by 60, because multiplication is the opposite of division.
60*88/2=x/60*60
The 60s on the right will cancel, so we are left with
60*88/2=x
60*44=x
2640=x
The car can travel 2640 feet in 1 minute.
