Question

Formula One race cars can reach speeds of approximately 100 meters per second. What is this speed in meters per minute?

O 0.6 meters per minute
O 1.5 meters per minute
O 600 meters per minute
O 6,000 meters per minute

Answer 1

Answer: Last Option

6,000 meters per minute

Explanation:

We know that 60 seconds is equal to one minute.

Then we use this data as a conversion factor.

The speed of the car is 100 meters per second, this is:

`s = 100\ (meters)/(seconds)`

Now we multiply this amount by the conversion factor in the following way:

`100\ (meters)/(second) * (60\ second)/(1\ minute)= 6000\ (meters)/(minute)`

The answer is:

6,000 meters per minute

Answer 2

=6000 m/min

Explanation:

There are 60 seconds in 1 minute.

The speed of the race car is 100 m/s. If it covers 100 m in one second, then in one minute it will cover a longer distance calculated as follows.

100 m/s × 60 second/min = 6000 m/min
