Answer 1

Answer:

Speed of car in miles per minute = 0.8 miles per minute

Distance cover by car in 20 minutes = 16 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Speed of car = 48 miles per hour

Time taken by car = 20 minutes

Find:

Speed of car in miles per minute

Distance cover by car in 20 minutes

Computation:

Speed of car = 48 miles per hour

1 hour = 60 minutes

So,

Speed of car = 48/60 miles per minute

Speed of car in miles per minute = 0.8 miles per minute

Distance cover by car in 20 minutes = 20 x Speed of car in miles per minute

Distance cover by car in 20 minutes = 20 x 0.8

Distance cover by car in 20 minutes = 16 miles
