You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The car will go 55 miles in one hour.
So, divide 55 by 60 to get how far it will go in a minute.
Thus, the car will go .91666 miles in one minute.
3 seconds is 1/20th of a minute. Thus, the answer is .9166666/20.
So, your answer is approximately .04583333 miles.
