You travel 3 miles in a sleigh at 5 mi/h. How long in minutes were you traveling in the sleigh?

To work out the time taken to travel a certain distance a ta certain speed, we divide the distance by the speed.


So, 3/5 = 0.6 hours. To convert this to minutes, we need to work out 0.6 of 60. We can do this by simply multiplying 0.6 by 60, to get 36 minutes.



Hope I helped! xx
