Question

A car is traveling 71.4 kilometers per hour. What is its speed in miles per minute? One kilometer = 0.62 miles.

Answer 1

Answer:- $0.738\frac{miles}{min}$

Solution:- It is a unit conversion problem where kilometers are need to be converted to miles and hours to minutes.

1 km = 0.62 miles

and, 1 hr = 60 min

Let's make the set up as:

$71.4\frac{km}{hr}(\frac{0.62miles}{1km})(\frac{1hr}{60min})$

= $0.738\frac{miles}{min}$

So, the speed in miles per minute is 0.738.
