To determine how many yards Ashley travels each minute, we can follow these steps:
1. **Find the total distance Ashley travels in yards:**
- Distance in miles: 15 miles
- Conversion to yards: \( 1 \text{ mile} = 1760 \text{ yards} \)
\[
\text{Total distance in yards} = 15 \text{ miles} \times 1760 \text{ yards/mile} = 26400 \text{ yards}
\]
2. **Convert the total time into minutes:**
- Total time in hours: 2 hours
- Conversion to minutes: \( 1 \text{ hour} = 60 \text{ minutes} \)
\[
\text{Total time in minutes} = 2 \text{ hours} \times 60 \text{ minutes/hour} = 120 \text{ minutes}
\]
3. **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**.
