If you lived 15 miles from your job and you had 15 min to get there, how fast would you have to drive to get t

Question

I cant figure this out.

Answer 1

60 mph (miles per hour)

think about it 15 miles in 15 minutes,

that's a mile per minute. now we need to find how many mph that is. There is 60 minutes in an hour. Since the car is traveling a mile per minute, and it is driving for an hour (60 minutes), it is going 60 mph. Hope this helped. ;)

Answer 2

60 mph (or 60 mile per 60 minute = 1 mile per minute).

GoodLuck...

Answer 3

I would be late-since the speed limit is only 35MPH with traffic lights and traffic. But to answer you ? like all other answers 60MPH. Give yourself more time.

Answer 4

60 mph

Answer 5

It would have to be faster than 60 miles per hour. Look, you'd have to remember where your keys are, rush out of the house, remember to lock the door, then run to the car. Of course, once you're driving you can't just be going 60 the whole time. Stop lights, residential streets, other traffic. Of course if you only live 15 minutes from your job, you probably don't take any roads with speed limits in excess of 45MPH. Plus, you can't eat up the whole fifteen minutes driving - once you get to work you have to find a parking spot, rush into the building, climb the stairs or wait in the elevator, say hi to the receptionist because it's a bad idea to be rude to the receptionist as often they are the ones really running the office...

Bottom line: you're going to be late for work.

Answer 6

60 mph.

Answer 7

you would have to travel an AVERAGE speed of 60MPH. Meaning you may drive 30mph half the time and 90mph the other half, or 50mph half and 70mph half, or 55mph 1/3 of the way 60mph 2/3 of the way and 65mph 3/3 of the way. As long as the average rate of travel is 60mph.
