Question

Lauren's SUV was detected exceeding the posted speed limit of 60 kilometers per hour, how many kilometers per hour over the limit would she have been traveling if she had covered a distance of 10 kilometers in 6 minutes? (6 minutes = 0.1 hr)

Answer 1

40 mph

this is because if we multiply both by 6, we get 60 and 36 minutes but we cant have 36 minutes since it has to be 60 so we can get mph so we would have to multiply both by 10 makeing the time 60 and the kilometers 100 and 60 minus 100 is 40
