Melissa walked at a rate of 88 feet per minute. What was her approximate speed to the nearest tenth of a mile per hour? 0.1 miles per hour 1.0 miles per hour 2.8 miles per hour 8.8 miles per hour

BrockTheRock:

First, you need to know how many feet are in a mile. It's 5280 ft = 1 mile. Then you multiply 88 times 60. Because there are 60 minutes in an hour. You should get your answer.

BrockTheRock:

No just put in terms of miles, so 5280 ft would equal how many miles?

SunFlowerFeelings223:

2.8

BrockTheRock:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @SunFlowerFeelings223 2.8 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) No. How many feet equal a mile?

SunFlowerFeelings223:

5280

BrockTheRock:

So if your answer is 5280 ft, how many miles 2ould that be?

SunFlowerFeelings223:

idk

Hoodmemes:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @SunFlowerFeelings223 5280 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) ight, 1 mile=5280 feet . So the only answer options that suit that would be A and B which do u think is correct?

SunFlowerFeelings223:

b

Hoodmemes:

SunFlowerFeelings223:

BrockTheRock:

Just remember terms and you shouldn't have a problem. For example, 1 mile = 5280 ft, and 1 hour = 60 minutes.
