Question

Find the distance traveled by a race in 25 minutes if it's average rate is 210 miles per hour.
A. 875 miles
B. 87.5 miles
C. 504 miles
D. 5250 miles

Answer 1

The distance traveled by the race can be found by multiplying the average rate by the time.

Distance = Rate × Time

Distance = 210 miles/hour × 25 minutes

First, convert 25 minutes to hours by dividing by 60:
25 minutes ÷ 60 = 0.4167 hours

Distance = 210 miles/hour × 0.4167 hours

Multiply the rate and time:
Distance = 87.504 miles

So, the distance traveled by the race in 25 minutes is approximately 87.5 miles.

Therefore, the answer is B. 87.5 miles.
