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 number of yards per minute that the train travels, we need to convert the speed from miles per hour to yards per minute.

First, we convert the speed from miles per hour to yards per hour. Since there are 1,760 yards in a mile, we can multiply the speed in miles per hour by 1,760 to get the speed in yards per hour.

60 miles per hour * 1,760 yards per mile = 105,600 yards per hour

Next, we divide the speed in yards per hour by the number of minutes in an hour (60) to find the speed in yards per minute.

105,600 yards per hour / 60 minutes per hour = 1,760 yards per minute

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