Question

A car is traveling at a rate of 48miles per hour. What is the car's rate in miles per minute? How many miles will the car travel in 15 minutes?

Answer 1

12 miles in 15 minutes

Explanation:

To find the car's rate in miles per minute, we can divide the rate in miles per hour by the number of minutes per hour. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so the car's rate in miles per minute is 48 miles per hour / 60 minutes per hour = 0.8 miles per minute.

To find the number of miles the car will travel in 15 minutes, we can multiply the rate in miles per minute by the number of minutes. The car will travel 0.8 miles per minute * 15 minutes = 12 miles in 15 minutes.
