Answer 1

To find out how many yards per minute the train travels, follow these steps:

1. Convert miles per hour to yards per hour: Since there are 1,760 yards in a mile, we can convert 60 miles to yards: \[ 60 \text{ miles} \times 1,760 \text{ yards/mile} = 105,600 \text{ yards/hour} \]

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

Thus, the train travels 1,760 yards per minute.
