Question

A car drives at 60mph for 90 secs what is the distnace travelled?

Answer 1

1.5 miles

Explanation:

this is miles per hour rate so you convert hour to minute ,and then from minute to seconds

you will get

`1 hour = 60minute = 3600seconds`

as every minute has 60 seconds

you then use the conversion factor

`60 (miles)/(hour) * (hour)/(3600 \: seconds)`

you will see that hour cancel each other and the result is

`(1)/(60) (miles)/(second)`

you will multiply the seconds with this rate

`(1)/(60) (miles)/(second) * 90 \:second`

you will see that second cancel with each other

you will get the answer

Answer 2

The distance traveled is about .66 miles because you would divide 60 by 90=.66
