Question

What is the car’s speed in miles per minute, & how many miles will the car travel in 20 minutes?

Answer 1

Ok, so

We know that the car is travelling at a speed of 39miles/hour. The car's speed in miles per minute will be:

$39\frac{miles}{hour}\cdot\frac{1hour}{60minutes}=0.65\frac{miles}{\min ute}$

Now, we're asked to find how many miles the car will travel in 20 minutes. This is:

$0.65\frac{miles}{\min ute}\cdot20\min utes=13miles$
