rate in simplest form
261 miles in 29 minutes
261/29 = _____ miles per minute
To find the rate in simplest form, we need to divide the distance traveled by the time taken. In this case, the distance traveled is 261 miles and the time taken is 29 minutes.
To convert the time from minutes to hours, divide it by 60 since there are 60 minutes in an hour:
29 minutes / 60 = 0.48333 hours (rounded to 5 decimal places)
Now, divide the distance by the time:
261 miles / 0.48333 hours = 539.1494 miles per hour (rounded to 4 decimal places)
To express the rate in simplest form, we can round it to the nearest whole number:
539 miles per hour (rounded to the nearest whole number)
Therefore, the rate in simplest form is 539 miles per hour.
