Use the fact that 1 hour = 60 minutes, from which you can create your conversion factor: 1 = hour / 60 minutes. That permit you to multiply the number of miles per hour times [1 hour/60minutes] to convert 50 miles per hours to miles per minute. This is the calculation: 50 miles/hour * [1hour/60minures] = 0.833 miles / minute
