Please help!!

Find the equivalent rate:
300 miles in 20 seconds to miles per minute.
30 miles per min
15 miles per min
3 miles per min

Answer 1

Explanation:

300/20 × 3/3 = 900/60

* 60 sec is 1 min therefore you want to get 60 secs in the denominator. In order to get that, you need to multiply.

900/60 divided by 60/60 is 15/1.

So 300m/20sec = 900m/60sec = 900mpm

If we're to do the same for all then it would be:

30m/20sec = 90m/60sec = 90mpm

15m/20sec = 45m/60sec = 45mpm

3m/20sec = 9m/60sec = 9mpm
