Question 393276: driving 87 miles/hr how far would you go in 12 seconds
Answer by ptaylor(2198)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Distance(d) equals Rate(r) times Time(t) or d=rt; r=d/t and t=d/r
60 minutes=1 hour
60 sec =1 minute
So, 60*60=3600 sec in 1 hour
Then 87 mi/hr=87 mi/(3600sec)=(87/3600)mi/sec, so:
distance traveled in 12sec=(87/3600)mi/sec*12sec=87/300 mi=0.29 mi
CK
3600/12=300*0.29=87 mph
Hope this helps---ptaylor
