No worries, I'm here to help you understand these problems! Let's break them down step by step.
1. How many inches are in 3/8 of a foot?
To solve this problem, we need to convert 3/8 of a foot into inches. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, we can multiply 3/8 by 12:
(3/8) * 12 = (3*12) / 8 = 36/8 = 4.5 inches.
So, there are 4.5 inches in 3/8 of a foot.
2. How long would it take a car traveling 60 mph to go 250 miles?
To find the time it would take for the car to travel 250 miles at a speed of 60 mph, we can use the formula:
time = distance / speed
Plugging in the values:
time = 250 miles / 60 mph
To solve this, we divide 250 by 60:
time ≈ 4.17 hours.
Therefore, it would take approximately 4.17 hours for the car to travel 250 miles at a speed of 60 mph.
I hope that helps! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
