Question

A car moving at a constant speed travels 88 feet in 2 seconds. Use a proportion to find how many feet it travels in one minute?

Answer 1

`"2640 ft"`

Explanation:

`"Speed" = "Distance"/"Time"`

`"Speed" = "88 ft"/"2 s" = color(red)"44 ft/s"`

Distance travelled in one minute (60 seconds)

`"Distance = Speed × Time"`

`"Distance" = "44 ft"/cancel"s" × 60 cancel"s" = color(blue)"2640 ft"`
