Answer:

63.04728546 miles an hour

Explanation:

  • to figure out how many miles an hour Seth travels we are gonna start with how far he goes in one min.
  • to do that we are gonna do 60÷57.1 ( we do this to figure the distance he goes in a minute)
  • 60÷57.1=1.050788091
  • Now we know he travels 1.050788091 in one minute
  • we know that there are 60 mins in an hour so we are gonna multiply that but the miles a second
  • 60×1.050788091=63.04728546
  • If you need to figure out any other unit of measurement an hour you do it like this:
  • example: we need to convert miles to km
  • we know that 1 mile is 1.60934 km
  • so we do 1mile in 57.1 seconds is 1.60934km in 57.1 seconds
  • then do the steps above
  • I recommend that you do the conversion in the beginning so you don't have to handle really big decimals
