Randy’s car can drive 5 miles in 2 minutes. How many miles can he drive in 60 minutes?
(5 miles/ 2 minutes )60 minutes = 150 miles
I assume on a race track :)
I don't know where Randy is, but he's obviously speeding by driving 2.5 miles in a minute.
60 * 2.5 = _________ miles
To find out how many miles Randy can drive in 60 minutes, we need to determine the proportion between the time it takes to drive 5 miles and the distance he can drive in 60 minutes.
Given that Randy's car can drive 5 miles in 2 minutes, we can set up a ratio:
5 miles / 2 minutes = x miles / 60 minutes
To find the value of x, we can cross-multiply:
(5 miles) * (60 minutes) = (2 minutes) * (x miles)
300 miles = 2x
Now, solve for x by dividing 300 by 2:
x = 300 / 2
x = 150
Therefore, Randy can drive 150 miles in 60 minutes.
