Question

If Sophie traveled 25 feet in 3 seconds, how fast was she traveling in miles per minute(5280 feet in a mile)

Answer 1

0.095 miles per minute

Explanation:

If Sophie traveled 25 feet in 3 seconds, then in 1 second she will travel

25/3 = 8.333 ft

But in 60 seconds make 1 minute, so in 1 minute, she will travel

(25/3) × 60 = 25 ×20

= 500 ft

Therefore in miles/minute, she was going

500/5280 = 0.095 miles per minute
