Problema Solution
A missile travels at the rate of 6,000mph. Find the distance it will travel in 20 minutes?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let
v = 6,000 mph
t = 20 min = 20/60 = 1/3 hr
d = the distance traveled
Since v = d/t follows d = v*t:
d = 6,000*(1/3)
d = 2,000 mi
In 20 minutes the missile will travel 2,000 miles.
