Answer:
Speed = 42. 86 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
car accident located 5 miles away in 7 minutes
Given distance d= 5 miles
time = 7 minutes. convert minutes into hours
60 minutes = 1 hour
so 7 minutes = 7 / 60 hours
To find the speed we use formula [tex]s= \frac{d}{t}[/tex]
d= 5 and t = 7/60
Plug in the values in the formula
[tex]s= \frac{d}{t}[/tex]
[tex]s= \frac{5}{\frac{7}{60}}[/tex]
[tex]s= 5* \frac{60}{7}[/tex]
s = 42.85714286
Speed = 42. 86 miles per hour
