Question

A boat travels 160 miles per hour. What is the speed in miles per minute?

Answer 1

We divide both sides by 160. Therefore, the boat will travel about 0.53 miles in 1 minute.

Answer 2

• 1hour =60min

• Speed in mph=160mph

Now

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 160\times \dfrac{1}{60}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{160}{60}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 2.6miles/min$
