As Mars revolves around the sun, it travels at a rate of approximately miles 15 per second. Convert this rate to miles per minute. At this rate, how many miles will Mars travel in 4 minutes? Do not round your answers.

1 min = 60 seconds

15 miles/sec * 1/60 = 0.25 miles/min

If 0.25 miles in 1 min,
then:

0.25 * 4 mins = 1 mile.

(I hope this is correct)
