You are driving 60 mph and it takes you 20 minutes to get to the mall. How many miles away from the mall do you live?
20 min * 1 hr / 60 min * 60 miles / hr = 20 miles
By the way, 60 miles an hour is a mile a minute, just remember that.
20 min * 1hr/60min * 60mi/hr = 20 mi
or, just realize that 60 mi/hr = 1 mi/min.
so, 20 min = 20 miles
To determine the distance you live from the mall, we can use the formula distance = speed * time. Since you are driving at a speed of 60 mph, and it takes you 20 minutes to reach the mall, we need to convert the time from minutes to hours.
There are 60 minutes in an hour, so 20 minutes is equal to 20/60 = 1/3 hour.
Now, we can calculate the distance using the formula:
distance = speed * time
distance = 60 mph * 1/3 hour
To simplify the calculation, we can multiply the speed and the time:
distance = (60/1) * (1/3)
Multiplying these two fractions, we get:
distance = 60/3 = 20 miles
Therefore, you live 20 miles away from the mall.
To determine the distance you live from the mall, we need to convert the given time into hours, as the speed is in miles per hour.
Given:
Speed = 60 mph
Time = 20 minutes
To convert minutes to hours, we divide the given time by 60.
20 minutes ÷ 60 = 1/3 hour
Now, we can use the formula: Distance = Speed × Time
Substituting the known values,
Distance = 60 mph × 1/3 hour
Multiplying 60 by 1/3 gives us:
Distance = 20 miles
Therefore, you live 20 miles away from the mall.
