Question

A car travels at the rate of x miles per hour for y minutes. which of the following gives the number of miles the car has traveled?

a) x/y
b) xy
c) 60x/y
d) xy/60
e) 60xy

Answer 1

Given that speed of car = x miles per hour

Time of travel = y minutes = y/60 hours

(Because there are 60 minutes in an hour)

We have to calculate distance travelled so we will use formula

Distance = speed * time

Distance = x * y/60

Distance = xy/60

Hence choice d) xy/60 is the final answer.
