The police went on a wild chase to catch a man speeding through town in a black pick-up truck. At times their speeds exceeded eighty-five miles per hour. At that rate, how many miles would the car go in 20 minutes? (round to the nearest whole mile)

Respuesta :

Answer: About 28 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we will find the rate of miles per minute.

    85 miles / 60 minutes = 1.41666667 miles per minute

Next, we will multiply this rate by 20 minutes:

    20 minutes * 1.41666667 miles per minute ≈ 28 miles
