Answer 2

The speed in miles per minute is 0.0845 mpm.

The explanation above clearly states that a car travel a distance of 18 miles in a time of 213 minutes . And it is asking for speed in miles per minute. Keep this in mind that the symbol for miles per minute is mpm. Speed formula is distance ÷ time.

Speed = Distance ÷ Time

Speed = 18 m / 213 min

18 divided by 213 = 0.0845

speed = 0.0845 mpm

Therefore the speed in miles per minute is 0.0845 mpm.
