So how many hours is 120 minutes?
And if the airplane goes 800 miles in that many hours, what is it’s average speed? How many miles per hour is it going? It’s a ratio — miles/hour
The second one works the same way.
120 minutes divided by 60 = 2 hours
800 miles divided by 2 hours = 400 miles per hour
1/2 hour = .5 hours
2 miles dived by .5 = 4 miles per hour
I dont know the other one! Sry :]
800 miles/120 min= 6.66 mi/min
2 miles/.5 hour= 4 mi/hr
i’m right too…you can decide whether you want miles/hr or miles/min, either one still answers the question
2. 4miles per hour
