Question

1. The speed limit on most city streets is (25 miles). How many meters per minute

hour
is this?
This is a conversion.

Answer 1

`Speed = 670.56 (m)/(min)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

`Speed = (25 mi)/(hr)`

Required

Convert to meters per minutes

`Speed = (25 mi)/(hr)`

Start by converting the speed from miles to meters

`1\ mile = 1609.34\ meters.`

So, we have:

`Speed = (25 * 1609.34\ m)/(hr)`

`Speed = (40233.5\ m)/(hr)`

Next, we convert time from hours to minutes

`1\ hour = 60\ minutes`

So, we have:

`Speed = (40233.5\ m)/(60\ min)`

`Speed = 670.56 (m)/(min)`

Hence, the equivalent of 25 miles per hour is 670.56 meters per minutes
