A car travels at a consistent speed of 30 mph if the driver only travel a distance of 15,840 feet , how long will it take the driver In minutes​

Answer 1

The answer is 6 minutes

Answer 2

6 minutes

Explanation:

Start by converting the feet to miles. (15840 feet equals 3 miles)

Distance=Rate*Time

We know the Rate (30mph) and the distance (3 miles). Plug them into the equation:

3=30T

Divide both sides by 30 to get the time: [This is in hours]

T=0.1 hrs

Now multiply 0.1 by 60 to get the time in minutes!

60*0.1=6

6 minutes
