Jerry is running a race. He knows he can run 44 feet in 3 seconds. If he maintains this rate, how many miles will he run in 1 hour?

Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

44 ft in 3 seconds

in 1 hour there are 60 minutes with 60 seconds each.

so, 1 hour = 60×60 = 3600 seconds.

in 3600 seconds there are

3600 / 3 = 1200 "packages" of 3 seconds.

so, Jerry would run

1200 × 44 = 52800 ft in 1 hour.

there are 5280 ft in 1 mile.

that means Jerry would run

52800 / 5280 = 10 miles in 1 hour.
