$\frac{6000}{0.5}$

$12000ft$

Answer 2

$\text{Hello there!}\\\\\text{We know that a car travels 100 ft every .5 seconds}\\\\\text{Lets find how far it goes every second}\\\\100*2=200\,\text{ft per second}\\\\\text{We're trying to find how far it goes in a minute, so multiply by 60}\\\text{Since 60 seconds = 1 minute}\\200*60=12000\\\\\boxed{12,000 ft}$
