A car is traveling at a steady speed. It travels 2 1/3 miles in 3 1/2 minutes. How far will it travel in 24 minutes? How far will it travel in 1 hour?

a) distance traveled is 16 miles.

b) distance traveled is 40 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is a scalar quantity which describe the rate of distance moved with time.

i.e speed =

Given that: distance = 2 1/3 miles = miles, time = 3 1/2 minutes = minutes.

Then;

speed = ÷

          = x

          =

The car's steady speed is 0.67 miles per minute.

a) when the time is 24 minutes, the distance covered can be determine by:

distance = speed x time

              = x 24

              = 16

distance traveled is 16 miles.

b) When the time is 1 hour (60 minutes), the distance traveled can be determined by:

distance = speed x time

              = x 60

              = 40

distance traveled is 40 miles.

step-by-step explanation:

d. millimeters per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that,

carlo used a rain gauge to measure the amount of water his lawn is receiving from the sprinklers.

since, according to the options, we see that,

water cannot be measured by 'miles per hour', 'meters per second' and 'grams per seconds'.

we get that, the water can be measured by 'millimeters per hour'.

hence, the appropriate rate for describing the amount of water is 'millimeters per hour'.
