Question

A woman is traveling in her car at 50 miles per hour. How far will that woman travel in fifteen minutes if her speed is constant? (Distance = Rate x Time)

Answer 1

we know that

Distance=ratex Time

where

Rate=50 mph

Time=15 min

Convert the time to hours

1 hour=60 min

so

15 min=15/60=0.25 hours

substitute in the formula

Distance=50x0.25

Distance=12.50 miles
