Answer:
Given:
A car travels 2 1/3 miles in 3 1/2 minutes.
We need to find the distance travelled in 25 minutes, in 1 hour.
So, 2 1/3= 7/3 and 3 1/2 = 7/2
Let's convert them into decimals by dividing them completely.
So, we will get 2.33 miles and 3.5 minutes.
So now we have that 2.33 miles are covered in 3.5 minutes.
Now we need to know the distance covered in 1 minute.
So, 2.33/3.5=0.67
So now we have in one minute 0.67 miles are covered.
Now distance covered in 25 minutes will be:
0.67*25 = 16.75 miles
Now distance covered in one hour:
1 hour = 60 minutes.
So, 0.67*60 = 40.2 miles
So we have distance covered in 25 minutes-16.5 miles and in 1 hour- 40.2 miles.
