You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1) A helicopter can travel 2.5 miles in one minute. What is the speed of this helicopter in miles per hour?
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "(2.5 miles/min)(60 min/1 hr) = (2.5*60)/(1*1) miles/hr. = 150 miles/hr
\n" ); document.write( "==================================================\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2) An ant can travel 25 feet per minute. What is the speed of the ant in miles per hour?
\n" ); document.write( "(25 ft/min)(1 mile/5280 ft)(60 min/1 hr) = (25*1*60)/(1*5280*1)(miles/hr)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "= 0.2841 miles/hr
\n" ); document.write( "=====================
