A bus travels 225 kilometers in 2 hours on the highway. The bus driver wants to find the average speed of the bus in feet per minute.

Question

This is for a worksheet im showing my class

Answer 1

To convert 225 kilometers in 2 hours to average speed in feet per minute you must do the following:

Convert Km to feet and convert hours to minutes.

(2 hours)*(60min/1hr) = 120 min

(225 km)*(3281ft/1km) = 738225 ft

 

So 225 km in 2 hours is equal to 738225ft/120 min.

When you reduce by dividing 738225 by 120 you get 393720 feet per minute
