Question 640358
If a car is traveling at 48 miles/hr, how many hrs does it taketo travel 1mile. Appox in secs?
<pre>
Since it goes 48 miles in one hour, it goes one mile in 
one forty-eighth of an hour.

One forty-eighth of an hour is one forty-eighth of sixty minutes

     {{{1/48}}}×60 = {{{60/48}}} = {{{5/4}}} minutes.

Each minute is 60 seconds so {{{5/4}}} minutes is {{{5/4}}} times 60 seconds.

{{{5/4}}}×60 = 75 seconds.
