A car is traveling at a steady speed. It travels 1 3/4 miles in 2 1/3 minutes. How far will it travel in 23 minutes? In 1 hour?

69/4 miles or 17.25 miles, 45 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, to solve for this one we need to find how fast the car is going. Since speed is distance/time, we can say the speed is 7/4 miles / 7/3 minutes, or 3/4 mile / minute. This means after 23 minutes it will have gone 69/4 miles, and after an hour it will have gone 45 miles.

They would travel 17.25 miles in 23 minutes and 45 miles in 1 hour

If you divide 1 3/4 by 2 1/3 you get. 0.75 which is how far the car will travel each minute and then you can just multiply that number by however many minutes there are
