To determine how many miles per minute the car is traveling, we first need to understand the given information and convert the units appropriately.
The car is traveling at a speed of 50 miles per hour (mph). We need to find out how many miles the car travels in one minute.
Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we can convert the speed from miles per hour to miles per minute by dividing the speed by 60.
Here’s the calculation:
50 mph ÷ 60 minutes = 0.8333 miles per minute
So, the car is traveling at approximately 0.8333 miles per minute.
This means that for every minute the car is moving at 50 mph, it covers roughly 0.8333 miles.
