Answer:

the speed of sound is 12 miles per minute

Explanation:

To know the speed we have to divide the distance by the time because the speed of sound is constant and we have to use a formula of uniform rectilinear motion

Uniform rectilinear motion: When an object travels at a constant speed with zero acceleration it is known as uniform rectilinear motion

The distance it gives us is 1 mile and the time it gives us is 1/12 minute

v = speed

v = 1mi / (1/12 m)

v = 12 mi/m

in the result as we can see we have a whole number (12)

the speed of sound is 12 miles per minute
