Question

5. Write the equality and conversions factors for the relationship between miles and hours for a cartraveling at 55 mi/h.

Answer 1

INFORMATION:

We know that a car is traveling at 55 mi/h, and we must write the equality and conversions factors for the relationship between miles and hours

STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION:

Since we have that the car is traveling at 55 mi/h, we have information about the velocity because velocity relates distance and time.

In our case, we relates that the car travels 55mi in one our.

Then, to write the equality and conversions factors for the relationship we can convert hours to minutes

We must use that 1 hour = 60 minutes

Then, converting hour to minutes

`(55mi)/(1h)\cdot(1h)/(60min)=0.9167(mi)/(min)`

So,

`55(mi)/(h)=0.9167(mi)/(min)`

The car travels 0.9167 mi in one minute

ANSWER:

`(55m\imaginaryI)/(1h)\cdot(1h)/(60m\imaginaryI n)=0.9167(m\imaginaryI)/(m\imaginaryI n)`
