A train moves at a speed of 60 miles per hour. How many yards per minute does the train travel? There are 1,760 yards in a mile and 60 minutes in an hour.(1 point)

Question

yards per minute

Answer 1

To find the yards per minute, we need to convert the speed from miles per hour to yards per minute.

First, we need to find the number of yards the train covers in an hour:
Speed in miles per hour * Number of yards in a mile
= 60 miles/hour * 1,760 yards/mile
= 105,600 yards/hour

Next, we need to find the number of yards the train covers in a minute:
Number of yards in an hour / Number of minutes in an hour
= 105,600 yards/hour / 60 minutes/hour
= 1,760 yards/minute

Therefore, the train travels at a speed of 1,760 yards per minute.
