Question

A car is traveling 50 miles per hour. What is this rate of speed in feet per minute?

Answer 1

Answer

50 mph = [50 mi / 1 hr] [ 5280 ft / mi] [ 1 hr / 60 min] even without doing the arithmetic, we see this is 5/6 (= 50/60) of 5280, so the only answer.

Answer 2

The Speed Of The Car Is 88 Feet Per Minute.

GIVEN

Speed of the car = 50 mph

TO FIND

The speed of the car is feet per minute.

SOLUTION

We can solve the above problem as follows-

Speed of the car = 50mph

We can also write it as

In 1 hour the distance covered by the car = 50 miles.

We know that,

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 mile = 5280 Feet

So,

In 60 minutes the distance covered by the car = 5280 feet

In 1 minute the distance covered by the car = 5280/60

= 88 feet

Speed = distance/time

speed of the car = 88 feet per minute.

Hence, The Speed Of The Car Is 88 Feet Per Minute.
