Question

Mario drives his Kart at an average speed of 42 miles per hour for 1.7 minutes. How far does he drive? Include units in your answer

Answer 1

We will have the following:

First, we transform the velocity unit of time, that is:

$42\frac{mi}{h}\ast\frac{1h}{60min}=0.7\frac{mi}{min}$

Then, we will have that:

$x=\frac{0.7mi\ast1.7min}{1min}\Rightarrow x=1.19mi$

So, it moved 1.19 miles.
