converting Between compound unitsA car is traveling at a rate of 57 miles per hour. What is the car's rate in mlles per minute? How many miles will the car travel in 5 minutes? Do not round youranswers.

Respuesta :

Convert miles per hour to miles per minutes, we can note that:

[tex]1hour=60\text{minutes}[/tex]

Then:

[tex]\frac{mi}{h}=\frac{mi}{60\min }[/tex]

Thus, to find the rate of miles per minutes, we divide the velocity by 60:

[tex]57\frac{mi}{h}=\frac{57}{60}\frac{mi}{\min }=0.95\frac{mi}{\min}[/tex]

That's the answer to the first question. To find the miles traveled in 5 minutes, since we have the ratio in minutes we need to multiply the ratio by the time:

[tex]0.95\frac{mi}{\min}\cdot5\min =4.75mi[/tex]

That's the answer to the second question.
