there are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes are in a hour

Answer 6

Good! So what we want to do is convert from seconds to hours

we have 194.3 seconds

to go from seconds to minutes

how would we do that?

We know 60 seconds = 1 minute

what do we multiply, is it the top one or the bottom one?

Answer 7

which one will make us get rid of the secs and leave us with minutes?

Answer 8

the bottom one

Answer 9

Good so what is
194.3 / 60 =

Answer 10

3.23

Answer 11

So that's how many minutes it is! Now we want to convert it to hours

so which one do we do

Answer 12

the top one

the bottom

Answer 16

yes so do the division

3.238 / 60 =

Answer 17

.0539

Answer 18

Good, let's keep one more digit just for not so it would 0.05396 hours

so we went 3 miles in 0.05396 hours

now we want to know how many miles PER HOUR
that means how many miles in 1 hour


to find that it's simple, we just have to divide by 0.05396

what is 3 / 0.05396

and that will take us from miles in 0.05396 hours to how many miles it would be in 1 hour
make sense?

Answer 19

.017

Answer 20

@AZ

Answer 21

oops, are you sure?

3/ 0.05396

and what would our final units be?

Answer 22

55 mph

There you go! You can also keep some of the decimal points unless they want you to round to a whole number
