Question

Formula One race cars can reach speeds of approximately 100 meters per second. What is this speed in meters per minute?
O 0.6 meters per minute
O 1.5 meters per minute
O 600 meters per minute
O 6,000 meters per minute

Answer 1

Answer:

=6000 m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 60 seconds in 1 minute.

The speed of the race car is 100 m/s. If it covers 100 m in one second,  then in one minute it will cover a longer distance calculated as follows.

100 m/s × 60 second/min = 6000 m/min

Answer 2

Answer: Last Option

6,000 meters per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 60 seconds is equal to one minute.

Then we use this data as a conversion factor.

The speed of the car is 100 meters per second, this is:

$s = 100\ \frac{meters}{seconds}$

Now we multiply this amount by the conversion factor in the following way:

$100\ \frac{meters}{second} * \frac{60\ second}{1\ minute}= 6000\ \frac{meters}{minute}$

The answer is:

6,000 meters per minute
