A car travels 5/16 of a mile in 1/4 of a minute. How many miles will the car travel in 2 1/4 minutes?

2 13/16 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a car travels 5/16 of a mile in 1/4 of a minute. The number of miles that the car will travel in 2 1/4 minute will be calculated as:

= 5/16 ÷ ( 1/4 / 2 1/4)

= 5/16 × 2 1/4 / 1/4

= 5/16 × (9/4 ÷ 1/4)

= 5/16 × 9

= 45/16

= 2 13/16 miles

The car will travel 2 13/16 miles in 2 1/4 minutes.
