Question

Alan's go kart travels 1750 feet per minute and Barry's go kart travels 21 miles per hour whose go kart travels faster round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Barry's kart is faster as he goes 21 Mph while Alan only goes 19.89 Mph.

Explanation:

First to get this answer we need to convert feet per minute to miles per hour. So we multiple 1750 feet per minute by 60 to get a hour. This gets up 105000 total feet in a hour. Now we need to divide this by 5280, which is how long a mile is, to get 19.89 miles which is how many miles he travels in a hour making him travel 19.89 mph which is less than 21 making Barry faster.
