Question

In 10 seconds, Jamal travels 550 feet on his bicycle. At this speed, how many feet can he travel in 1 minute? Explain.

Answer 1

$\frac{10 seconds}{550feet}= \frac{60 seconds}{x feet}$

$x=550*60/10=3300 feet$

Answer 2

At this speed, Jamal would be traveling 3,300 feet in a minute. If he travels 550 in 10 seconds, considering that there are 60 seconds in a minute, 550 x 6 would give you your answer of 3,300.
