Driving at a constant rate, noah covered 130 miles in 3.5 hours. Express his driving rate in feet per minute.
oh im really sorry i ment to say he covered 140 miles in 3.5 hours not 130
130 mi in 3.5 hrs
130 mi * 5280 ft/mi = 686,400 feet
3.5 hr * 60 min/hr = 210 min
Rate = Distance/Time
686,400/210 = 3268.571 feet/min
To express Noah's driving rate in feet per minute, we need to convert both distance and time to the appropriate units.
Firstly, let's convert 130 miles to feet. We know that there are 5280 feet in a mile, so we can multiply 130 miles by 5280 to get the total distance in feet:
130 miles * 5280 feet per mile = 686,400 feet
Now, let's convert the time from hours to minutes. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we can multiply 3.5 hours by 60 to get the total time in minutes:
3.5 hours * 60 minutes per hour = 210 minutes
Finally, to find Noah's driving rate in feet per minute, we divide the total distance in feet by the total time in minutes:
686,400 feet / 210 minutes = 3,274.29 feet per minute
Therefore, Noah's driving rate is approximately 3,274.29 feet per minute.
