Problema Solution
Tails can go 50 miles in 2 minutes.Write tails speed as a ratio and rate.
Answer provided by our tutors
let
d = 50 mi the distance
t = 2 min the time
v = the average rate
v = total distance/time
v = d/t
v = 50/2 mi per min
v = 25 mi per min
v = 25/(1/60) mph (since 1 min = 1/60 hr)
v = 1500 mph
Tails speed is 1500 mph.
