Question

A race car travels 100 feet in 5 seconds, at this rate of speed, how many feet will the race car travel in a minute

Answer 1

60 sec in a min, 60/5 = 12, therefore 100 x 12= 1200 ft per min

Answer 2

There are 60 seconds in one minute, and 60/5=12, so the race car would travel 100 feet every 5 seconds 12 times in one minute. You can simply multiply 100 by 12 to get your answer.
100x12=1200
The race car travels 1,200 feet in one minute.
