Question

A car is traveling at a steady speed. It travels 1 3/4 miles in 2 1/3 minutes. How far will it travel in ​? In 1 hour​?

Answer 1

45 miles.

Explanation:

Ok, so it goes 1.75 (1 3/4) miles in 2 minutes and 20 seconds, or 140 seconds. Divide 1.75 miles by 140 and you get 0.0125 miles per second, or 0.75 (3/4) miles per minute. Multiply 0.75 by 60 minutes and you get 45 miles.
