Question

A car is traveling 71.4 kilometers per hour. What is its speed in miles per minute? One kilometer = 0.62 miles.

Answer 1

Answer:-
`0.738(miles)/(min)`

Solution:- It is a unit conversion problem where kilometers are need to be converted to miles and hours to minutes.

1 km = 0.62 miles

and, 1 hr = 60 min

Let's make the set up as:

`71.4(km)/(hr)((0.62miles)/(1km))((1hr)/(60min))`

=
`0.738(miles)/(min)`

So, the speed in miles per minute is 0.738.
