A car is traveling at a rate of 93 miles per hour. What is the car's rate in miles per minute? How many miles will the car travel in 20 minutes?

Question

the question is confusing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Here's what we know:

93 ^mi/_hr

1 hour = 60 minutes → 1 hr/60 min

 

So that gives us the following:

93 ^mi/_{60 min}

Let's do some light factoring out to east the division. Both numbers are divisible by 3:

93 ÷ 3 = 31

60 ÷ 3 = 20

 

That gives us so far:

31 ^mi/_{20 min}

 

Well, that answers the second question, at least. Now you just need to divide 31 by 20 to find out how far the car travels  in a single minute.
