Answer 1

Answer:

29 Minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The original speed is given in miles per hour (like a car), but the answer is asking for miles per minute, so we must convert the speed into miles per minute first. To do this, we set up this equation: $\frac{10.1 miles\ }{1 hour}x\frac{1}{60minutes}$ which equals  $\frac{0.168333333miles}{minute}$. We can then divide the desired number of miles by the speed in miles per minute. Here is the eqaution for this $\frac{4.9miles}{\frac{0.168333333miles}{1minute} }$. The miles cancel and you are just left with 29.1 minutes after you divide 4.9 by 0.168333333. Hope this helps!
