We are trying to find yards/min, which signifies that we will be dividing a number of yards by a number of minutes. Our number of yards is 1,260 yards and the number of minutes is 30. Thus, the average number of yards/min is:
[tex]\dfrac{1260 \, \textrm{yards}}{30 \,\textrm{minutes}} = 42 \dfrac{\textrm{yards}}{\textrm{minute}}[/tex]
Our answer is 42 yards/min.
