Question?

lilcutie2:

Angle:

You are being given units in: seconds and miles Your answer needs to be in: miles and hours how would you convert from seconds to hours?

Angle:

-> how many seconds are there in 1 hour?

lilcutie2:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Angle -> how many seconds are there in 1 hour? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) 60

Angle:

There are 60 seconds in a MINUTE

Angle:

try again

lilcutie2:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Angle try again \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) 3600 sorry

Angle:

perfect, so I am going to place the miles in the numerator (because the final unit we want miles over hours to represent mph) Then I'm going to put the seconds diagonal to the other seconds like this |dw:1615209225114:dw|

Angle:

this way, the "seconds" unit can "cancel out"

lilcutie2:

198000

Angle:

that's not right multiply the numerators multiply the denominators you get a fraction

lilcutie2:

I don't know sorry

Angle:

what is 3600 times 1?

Angle:

|dw:1615209423154:dw|

lilcutie2:

they were going 65 mph

Angle:

yes

lilcutie2:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Angle yes \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) cause you would divide it

Angle:

yes :)

jesternmais:

yes that is how you do it.
