Answer:

22 miles.

Explanation:

If the question is In a police Chase on the interstate, the suspect's car reached a speed of 88 miles per hour for a total 15 minutes. during that time, how many miles did the Chase last?

According to that we will use distant formula = rate * time

First of all we have to convert 15 mins into hour

1 min = 1/60 hour

15 mins = 15* 1/60

15 mins = 15/60

15 mins = 1/4 hour

Now by using the formula multiply 88 by 1/4

88 * 1/4

We will cancel out 88 and 4 by the table of 4

= 22 miles

Thus the answer is 22 miles....
