You are driving 60 mph and it takes you 20 minutes to get to the mall. How many miles away from the mall do you live?

2 answers

20 min * 1 hr / 60 min * 60 miles / hr = 20 miles

By the way, 60 miles an hour is a mile a minute, just remember that.
20 min * 1hr/60min * 60mi/hr = 20 mi

or, just realize that 60 mi/hr = 1 mi/min.
so, 20 min = 20 miles
