Um okay well I think what you would have to do first is multiple 15 by 60 since 60 seconds are in a minute

anonymous · Answer

Use dimensional analysis or in other words, just multiply by conversion factors

anonymous · Answer

15*60 is 900 which would be 900 miles per minutes. Then you would multiply 900 by 5 since it is asking how far you would travel in 5 minutes.
