Question

Jermaine wants to know how fast he is traveling in a school bus, but he cannot see the speedometer. He records that the bus travels 1 mile in 75 seconds. How fast is Jermaine traveling in miles per hour?

Answer 1

48 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate in miles per second can be converted to the rate in miles per hour by multiplying by the number of seconds in an hour:

`(1\,mi)/(75\,s)\cdot(3600\,s)/(1\,h)=(3600\,mi)/(75\,h)=48\,mi/h`
