Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
12 miles is the ride distance
the guy is able to travel at 6 yard per second
Question C asks how many minutes will the trip take
first we have to convert miles to yards....
there are 1760 yards in one mile
12*1760= the total distance to be traveled.. in yards..
21,120 yards
Next we'll figure out the time to travel that distance.. but we're give a rate of travel in seconds... 6 yards every second
so divide the total yards by the seconds.. that are take to travel every second.. in on second he goes 6 yards. so divide the total yards by 6 for each second of travel
21,120 / 6 = 3520 seconds to go 12 miles or the 21,120 yards.. it's the same distance in different units
then.. b/c the question is asking for minutes divide the 3,520 seconds by 60.. b/c that's how many seconds are in one minute
3,520 / 60 = 58.6666666666666 minutes or 58 minutes and 2/3 of one minute.... make sense?
