Acar traveled 3⁄4 mile in one minute at constant speed. what was the speed of the car in miles per hour? ? miles per hour (hint: convert one minute to a fraction of an hour.)

the fractions are set up so minutes cancel out

multiply the numerators to get 45 miles

multiply the denominators to get 1 hour

45 miles per hour

hope this helped

Distance traveled by car in one minute = 3/4 mile

The relation between hour and minutes is given by:

one hour = sixty minutes

one minute = 1/60 hours

so we can replace one minute by 1/60 hours

Distance traveled by car in one minute =3/4 mile

Distance traveled by car in 1/60 hour =3/4 miles

distance traveled by car in 1 hour = (3/4) ÷(1/60)

In division we take reciprocal of the number after division sign and multiply it with first.

Reciprocal of 1/60 is 60

so multiplying 3/4 and 60

So distance traveled by car in one hour is 45 miles.

Speed of car is 45 miles per hour .
