Answer 2

704 yards per minute.

Explanation:

We have been given that Zoe's speed is 24 mph. We are asked to convert Zoe's speed in yard per minute.

We know that 1 mile equals 1,760 yards.

We also know that 1 hour equals 60 minutes.

`\text{Zoe's speed in yards per minute}=\frac{\text{24 miles}}{\text{Hour}}* \frac{\text{1,760 yards}}{\text{Mile}}* \frac{\text{1 hour}}{\text{60 minutes}}`

`\text{Zoe's speed in yards per minute}=\frac{24* \text{1,760 yards}}{\text{60 minutes}}`

`\text{Zoe's speed in yards per minute}=\frac{42,240\text{ yards}}{\text{60 minutes}}`

`\text{Zoe's speed in yards per minute}=\frac{704\text{ yards}}{\text{minute}}`

Therefore, Zoe's speed is 704 yards per minute.
