Final answer:
Using the distance formula (Distance = Speed x Time), and converting the time from minutes to hours (3 minutes = 0.05 hours), a car moving at 61 mph will travel a distance of 3.05 miles in 3 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the distance traveled by a car moving at a certain speed over a given time period, you can use the formula for distance:
Distance = Speed × Time
In this case, the car is moving at a speed of 61 (assuming the units are in miles per hour, mph, since no unit is given). To find out how far the car will move in 3 minutes, we first need to convert the time from minutes to hours because the speed is given in miles per hour.
Time in hours = Time in minutes ÷ 60
Time in hours = 3 minutes ÷ 60 = 0.05 hours
Distance traveled by the car can now be calculated as follows:
Distance = 61 mph × 0.05 hours
Distance = 3.05 miles
Therefore, the car will travel 3.05 miles in 3 minutes at a speed of 61 mph.
