Question 1166714: A car is traveling at a rate of miles 66 per hour. What is the car's rate in miles per minute? How many miles will the car travel in 15 minutes? Do not round your answers. Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the car is traveling at a rate of 66 miles per hour.
since there are 60 minutes per hour, then the car is traveling at a rate of 66 miles per 60 minutes.
simplify that to get:
the car is traveling at 66 / 60 = 1.1 miles per minute.
in 15 minutes, the car will have traveled 15 * 1.1 = 16.5 miles.
