To determine how many yards Ashley travels each minute, we can follow these steps:
-
Find the total distance Ashley travels in yards:
- Distance in miles: 15 miles
- Conversion to yards: \( 1 \text{ mile} = 1760 \text{ yards} \) \[ \text{Total distance in yards} = 15 \text{ miles} \times 1760 \text{ yards/mile} = 26400 \text{ yards} \]
-
Convert the total time into minutes:
- Total time in hours: 2 hours
- Conversion to minutes: \( 1 \text{ hour} = 60 \text{ minutes} \) \[ \text{Total time in minutes} = 2 \text{ hours} \times 60 \text{ minutes/hour} = 120 \text{ minutes} \]
-
Calculate the distance traveled per minute in yards:
- Distance per minute: \[ \text{Distance per minute} = \frac{\text{Total distance in yards}}{\text{Total time in minutes}} = \frac{26400 \text{ yards}}{120 \text{ minutes}} = 220 \text{ yards/minute} \]
Thus, Ashley travels 220 yards per minute.
