Answer 1

Answer: Distance covered by Henry is about 0.52 mile.

Explanation:

Formula : Distance = Speed x Time

Given : Speed = 31 miles per hour

Time = 6 minutes

Since 1 hour = 60 minutes

so,
`\text{ 1 minute}=(1)/(60)\text{ hour}`

Now, Distance =
`31*(1)/(60)\text{ miles}\approx0.52\text{ mile}`

Hence, Distance covered by Henry is about 0.52 mile.
