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

Answer 1

To find the speed of the train in yards per minute, we can use the following steps:

1. Convert miles per hour to yards per hour: \[ 60 \text{ miles per hour} \times 1,760 \text{ yards per mile} = 105,600 \text{ yards per hour} \]

2. Convert yards per hour to yards per minute: Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we can divide the yards per hour by 60: \[ \frac{105,600 \text{ yards per hour}}{60} = 1,760 \text{ yards per minute} \]

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