A) 12s minutes
B) 60/s minutes
C) 720/s minutes
D) 7200/s minutes

Answer 1

Jasmine takes 60/s minutes to reach her office.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the time it takes for Jasmine to reach her office, we need to use the formula:

Time = Distance / Speed

Given that the distance is 12 miles and the average driving speed is s mph, the equation becomes:

Time = 12 / s

To convert this time from hours to minutes, we multiply by 60:

Time (in minutes) = (12 / s) * 60

Therefore, the answer is B) 60/s minutes.
