Question

A car travels at an average speed of 68 miles per hour. How many miles does it travel in 5 hours and 45 minutes?

Answer 1

391.

Explanation:

There is 60 minutes every hour, so you divide by 60. 68 / 60 = 1.1333333333.

Now, we have to find out how many minutes there are in 5 hours and 45 minutes. Since there is 60 minutes every hour, 6 x 5 + 45 = 300 + 45 = 345. 1.1333333333 x 345 = 390.9999999885, rounded = 391.
