A car travels 50 mph for 10 minutes. How many miles per minute is the car traveling? To the nearest tenth of a mile, how far does the car travel in 1 minute?

We are required to convert the speed from miles per hour to miles per minute;

speed of the car=50 mph

the speed in miles per minute will be as follows;

1 hr=60 min

thus the speed will be given by:

speed=distance/time

= (50 miles) / (1 hours)

= (50 miles) / (60 min)

=5/6 m/min

thus the distance traveled in 10 min will be:

distance=speed*time

=5/6*10

=8 1/3 miles
