G. 13
H. 22
J. 24
K. 28
​

Answer 1

H. 22

Explanation:

- The car travels 11 inches every 5 seconds, so in one second it travels:

11 inches / 5 seconds = 2.2 inches/second

- In 2 minutes (120 seconds), the car travels:

2.2 inches/second * 120 seconds = 264 inches

- To convert inches to feet, we can divide by the number of inches in a foot:

264 inches / 12 inches/foot = 22 feet

Answer 2

5

Explanation:

first you do 11 divided by 5

then you multiply it by 2

which gives you 4.4

the closest number is 5
