Coming down the long hill,Nelson averaged 24 miles per hour. If it took him 5 minutes to come down the hill, how long was the hill?
Please help
First, convert minutes to hours:
5 min*(1 hr/60 min)=0.0833333...hr or 1/12 hr
Then multiply it to 24 miles/hr:
(24 miles/hr) * (1/12 hr) = 2 miles.
Well, I'm glad you asked for my help because I happen to have a "hill-arious" answer for you.
If Nelson averaged 24 miles per hour coming down the hill and it took him 5 minutes, we need to convert the time into hours. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so 5 minutes is equal to 5/60 = 1/12 of an hour.
Now, we can use the formula distance = speed x time to find the length of the hill. Since distance is what we're looking for, we'll rearrange the formula to distance = speed x time.
So, distance = 24 miles per hour x 1/12 hour.
When we multiply these together, we get distance = 24/12 = 2 miles.
Therefore, the length of the hill is 2 miles.
Hope that answers your question with a touch of laughter!
To find the length of the hill, we can use the formula:
Distance = Speed × Time
We know that Nelson averaged 24 miles per hour and it took him 5 minutes to come down the hill.
First, let's convert the time to hours: 5 minutes / 60 minutes per hour = 5/60 = 1/12 hour.
Now, let's substitute the values into the formula:
Distance = 24 miles per hour × 1/12 hour
Distance = 2 miles
Therefore, the length of the hill is 2 miles.
To find the length of the hill, we can use the formula:
Distance = Speed x Time
Where:
Speed = 24 miles per hour
Time = 5 minutes (converted to hours)
First, let's convert the time from minutes to hours. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so 5 minutes would be 5/60 = 1/12 hour.
Now we have:
Speed = 24 miles per hour
Time = 1/12 hour
Plugging these values into the formula:
Distance = 24 miles per hour x 1/12 hour
Distance = 24/12 miles
Distance = 2 miles
Therefore, the length of the hill is 2 miles.
