A bloke in work lives?

Question

40 miles away, he recons he can get to work in 20 min utes, i know that he must have been doing about 120mph all the way, but whats the workings out to get this answer?

Answer 1

40 miles divided by 20 minutes equals 2 miles divided by minutes.  You'd like to have miles divided by hours instead, right?  Miles per hour?

Well, there are 60 minutes in an hour.  If you multiply by 1, you get the same answer.   60 minutes divided by 1 hour is still 1, and you can multiply by that and not mess up the answer.

2 miles/minute times 60 minutes/hour  is 120 miles/hour.  The minutes/minutes in the units cancel out.

Answer 2

Two miles a minute

40 divided by 20 = 2 miles a minute

2 multiplied by 60 = 120 mph

Hope he gets caught he is a menace

and in fact at times he will be going a heck of a lot faster the 120MPH

Answer 3

60mph=1 mile per minute..40 miles =40 minutes

120=2mile per minute...40 miles=20 minutes

Answer 4

All the workings above are obviously right, but is this the guy who caught a 10lb minnow. He would have to live and work on the hard shoulder and do 0-60 mph in 1/2 second.
