Question

A car is traveling at a rate of 48 miles per hour. What is the car's rate in miles per minute? How many miles will the car travel in 2 minutes? Do not round your answers.

Answer 1

0.8 Miles per minute. 1.6 miles in 2 minutes

Explanation:

It says 48 miles for 60 minutes. But we only want one minute, so we can divide 60 to get 1 and divide 48 by 60 to get 0.8 for 1 minute.

For the second question you want 2 munutes so you multily this rate by 2 (0.8*2) to get 1.6 miles.

Hope this helps
