Question 852399: How fast is a car going if it can make a half a mile in 3 seconds
Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If it makes half a mile in 3 seconds, then it makes a whole mile in 6 seconds (impossible for a car).
1 mile in 60 seconds = 1 mile per minute = 60 mph (60 minutes in an hour)
So 1 mile in 6 seconds would be ten times that, or 600 mph.
