Question

What is the speed of a boat that travels 20 miles in 60 minutes? Please answer in miles per hour.

Formula : speed = distance

time

Answer 1

As you reminded us at the end of the question:

Speed = (distance) / (time)

= (20 miles) / (60 minutes)

= (1/3) mile/minute

To convert to the units you asked for . . .

(1/3 mile/minute) · (60 minutes/hour)

= (1/3 · 60) (mile · minute) / (minute · hour)

= 20 mile/hour .

Answer 2

d = r*t r = d/t = 20/45 mi/min
20/45 mi/min * 60 min/hr = 1200/45 mi/hr
= 26.667 mi/hr
Hope i helped :)
