Question

If you divide speed in miles per minute by 60 you get the same speed expressed in miles per hour___

Answer 1

False. You would have to multiply speed in miles per minute by 60 to get speed in miles per hour.

Answer 2

False . Correct statement is - If you divide speed in miles per minute by 60 you get the same speed expressed in miles per second .

Step-by-step explanation:

If x miles distance traveled in time, t= 1 minute or 60 seconds at certain speed v given by

v= x miles/minutes

Then
`(x)/(60)` distance will be traveled with same speed in time, t= 1/60 minutes or 1 second

In this case also speed is same given by , v= x/60 miles/seconds

=>v=
`x (miles)/(minute)=(x)/(60)(miles)/(second)`

Thus If you divide speed in miles per minute by 60 you get the same speed expressed in miles per second .
