Question 251847
A car travels at 1/2 miles per hour for 8 minutes, then 1 mph for 4 minutes,
 then 2 mph for 2 minutes, then 4 miles per hour for 1 minute, and so forth: 
stopping after traveling 128 miles per hour for 1/32 minutes.
How many miles does the car travel?
:
Interesting that at each stage, the car travels the same distance; 1/15 of a mile
Converting minutes to hours: 
.5(8/60) = (4/60) = (1/15)mi
1(4/60) = (1/15)mi
The last one
128(1/32)*(1/60) = (128/1920) = (1/15) mi 
:
Total of all 9 stages
9(1/15) = .6 mi
