Question

At soccer training the team ran for 30 minutes at 6 mph your friend incorrectly says that the team render distance of 180 miles what is the correct distance

Answer 1

3 miles.

Explanation:

We have been at soccer training the team ran for 30 minutes at 6 mph. Your friend incorrectly says that the team render distance of 180 miles. We are asked to find the correct distance covered by the team.

`\text{Distance}=\text{Speed}* \text{Time}`

Since speed of team is given in miles per hour, so we need to convert our given time into hours.

`1\text{ minute}=(1)/(60)\text{ hour}`

`30\text{ minutes}=(30)/(60)\text{ hour}=(1)/(2)\text{ hour}`

`\text{Distance}=\frac{6\text{ miles}}{\text{Hour}}* (1)/(2)\text{Hour}`

`\text{Distance}=6\text{ miles}* (1)/(2)`

`\text{Distance}=3\text{ miles}`

Therefore, the team covered a distance of 3 miles.

Answer 2

The team traveled 3 miles.

In order to find the appropriate distance, you need to convert minutes into hours, since that's what the unit rate of is in.

30 minutes/60 minutes in an hour = .5 hours.

Multiply that number by the miles per hour to get .5 * 6 = 3 miles.
