Answer 1

There are 60 minutes in an hour. So if we are going 180 per hour, we can divide 180 by 60 to calculate the minutes

180/60 = 3

Answer 2

Speed = 3 mile per minute.

Explanation:

Given : A car is driving at 180 miles per hour.

To find : What is its speed in miles per minute.

Solution : We have given

A car drive in 1 hour = 180 miles.

As we know that 1 hour = 60 minute .

So , A car drive in 60 minute = 180 miles.

Speed =

Speed =
`(180)/(60)`.

Speed = 3 mile per minute.

Therefore, Speed = 3 mile per minute.
