A cargo ship travels at a speed of m miles per hour when it is over the open ocean. Which of the following expressions represents the number of miles the cargo ship travels in n minutes?
-----------------------------
"... over the open ocean ... ????
They're in the ocean, not over it.
===================================================
m mi/hr = m/60 mi/minute
---> m*n/60
=======================
PS Ships use knots for units of speed, not miles per hour.
