Find the distance traveled by a race in 25 minutes if it's average rate is 210 miles per hour.
A. 875 miles
B. 87.5 miles
C. 504 miles
D. 5250 miles
The distance traveled by the race can be found by multiplying the average rate by the time.
Distance = Rate × Time
Distance = 210 miles/hour × 25 minutes
First, convert 25 minutes to hours by dividing by 60:
25 minutes ÷ 60 = 0.4167 hours
Distance = 210 miles/hour × 0.4167 hours
Multiply the rate and time:
Distance = 87.504 miles
So, the distance traveled by the race in 25 minutes is approximately 87.5 miles.
Therefore, the answer is B. 87.5 miles.
To find the distance traveled, we need to use the formula:
Distance = Rate x Time.
Given the average rate is 210 miles per hour and the time is 25 minutes, we first need to convert the time to hours.
1 hour = 60 minutes.
So, 25 minutes = 25/60 hours = 0.4167 hours (rounded to four decimal places).
Now, we can calculate the distance:
Distance = 210 miles/hour x 0.4167 hour = 87.517 miles (rounded to three decimal places).
Therefore, the distance traveled by the race in 25 minutes at an average rate of 210 miles per hour is approximately 87.517 miles.
The answer is B. 87.5 miles.
To find the distance traveled, you can use the formula:
Distance = Rate × Time
In this case, the rate is given as 210 miles per hour and the time is given as 25 minutes. However, it's important to note that the rate given is in miles per hour while the time given is in minutes. To solve this, you need to convert the time to hours.
Since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, you can convert 25 minutes to hours by dividing it by 60:
Time (in hours) = 25 minutes ÷ 60 = 0.4167 hours (rounded to four decimal places)
Now you can use the formula to find the distance:
Distance = 210 miles per hour × 0.4167 hours = 87.51 miles (rounded to two decimal places)
So, the correct answer is B. 87.5 miles.
