Question

Yoshika drives at a constant speed and travels y miles in 37 minutes. What expression represents her constant speed in miles per minute?

Answer 1

`(Y)/(37)` miles per minute

Explanation:

The formula to calculate average speed is:

`s=(d)/(t)`

where s is speed, d is distance, and t is time.

we know that she traveled 'Y' miles, so the distance is:

`D=Ymiles`

and she traveled that distance is 37 minutes, so the time is:

`t=37min`

and substituting this into the average speed equation:

`s=(Ymiles)/(37minutes) \\\\s=(Y)/(37)mi/min`

the average speesdis
`(Y)/(37)` miles per minute (mi/min)
