To determine how far a car travels in 1 minute at a speed of 75 miles per hour, we need to follow these steps:
1. Convert the car's speed from miles per hour to miles per minute:
- We start with the given speed of 75 miles per hour.
- There are 60 minutes in an hour, so we divide the speed by 60 to find the speed in miles per minute.
[tex]\[
\text{Speed in miles per minute} = \frac{75 \text{ miles per hour}}{60 \text{ minutes per hour}} = 1.25 \text{ miles per minute}
\][/tex]
2. Calculate the distance traveled in 1 minute:
- We know the car travels at a rate of 1.25 miles per minute.
- To find the distance traveled in 1 minute, we simply multiply the speed (in miles per minute) by the time (in minutes).
[tex]\[
\text{Distance traveled} = 1.25 \text{ miles per minute} \times 1 \text{ minute} = 1.25 \text{ miles}
\][/tex]
So, the car travels 1.25 miles in 1 minute at the rate of 75 miles per hour.
