Question

If a car rides at an average speed of 50 miles per hour, How many minutes will it take if the car drives 10 miles?

Answer 1

• The car will take 12 minutes to travel 10 miles.

Explanation:

We know that:

• (50 mph) = (50 miles = 1 hour)

Work:

• 50 miles = 1 hour
• => 50 miles = 1 hour = 60 minutes
• => 50 miles = 60 minutes
• => 50 ÷ 5 miles = 60 ÷ 5 minutes
• => 10 miles = 12 minutes

Hence, the car will take 12 minutes to travel 10 miles.

Answer 2

12 Minutes

Explanation:

1/5 of 50 is 10 and 1/5 of 60 is 12 meaning for every 12 minutes 10 miles is driven
