Question

1,760 yards in a mile and 60 minutes in an hour. (1 point)
yards per minute

Answer 1

To find yards per minute, we need to convert miles to yards and hours to minutes.

First, we need to convert 60 miles into yards. Since there are 1,760 yards in a mile, we multiply 60 by 1,760:

60 miles * 1,760 yards/mile = 105,600 yards

Next, we need to convert 1 hour into minutes. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we multiply 60 by 1:

60 minutes

Now, we can calculate the yards per minute by dividing the total yards traveled (105,600) by the total minutes traveled (60):

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

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