Question

An object is moving at a speed of 6 yards every 2. 5 minutes. Express this speed in miles per month. Round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

First, we can convert the speed to yards per minute: 6 yards / 2.5 minutes = 2.4 yards/minute.

Next, we can convert yards to miles: 1 mile = 1760 yards, so 2.4 yards/minute * (1 mile / 1760 yards) = 0.00136 miles/minute.

Finally, we can convert minutes to months: 1 month = 43800 minutes (assuming an average month has 30.42 days), so 0.00136 miles/minute * (43800 minutes / 1 month) ≈ 59.6 miles/month.

So, the speed of the object is approximately 59.6 miles per month, rounded to the nearest tenth.
