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 a hour

Answer 1

To convert miles per hour to yards per minute, let's first convert the speed from miles per hour to yards per hour.

Since 1 mile equals 1,760 yards, we can multiply the speed of 60 miles per hour by 1,760 yards per mile:
60 miles/hour * 1,760 yards/mile = 105,600 yards/hour

Now, to convert from yards per hour to yards per minute, we divide by the number of minutes in an hour, which is 60 minutes:
105,600 yards/hour ÷ 60 minutes/hour = 1,760 yards/minute

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