If you go 1.54 miles in 56 seconds how many mph is that?

Question

What is the formula to figure it out.

Answer 1

The easiest was is to start by converting seconds to hours, since you ultimately need "hours" and not "seconds."

56 seconds (1 minute/60 seconds)(1 hour/60 minutes) = 0.0156 hours

Now you have the correct units (miles and hours), so you need to put them together and then do the math:

1.54 miles/0.0156 hours = 98.7 miles/hour

Answer 2

1.54 miles = 56 seconds
1.54/56 = 1 second
1.54/56*60 = 1 minute
1.54/56*60*60 = 1 hour = 99mph

Answer 3

exactly 99 miles per hour

(1.54/56) X60X60= 99 mph

Answer 4

In the general sciences it is always a good idea to approximate first, and to use the units of measure as a check.

1.54 miles a minute is 1.54 miles/min x 60 min/hr = 92.4 m/h
(the minutes "cancel" in the above).

Extending this reasoning --

1.54 Mil/56 sec x 60 sec/min x 60 min/hr = 99 miles/hr.

Be careful, note that 56 sec is in the denominator, so the sec in the next numerator cancels it out and you are at miles per minute -- then the new minutes in the denominator is cancelled out by the min in the numerator of 60 minutes per hour. The resultant value is in the value you want; Miles per hour.

Answer 5

1.54 miles in 56 seconds
so, 1.54/56 in 1 second
so, 1.54/56*60 in 1 minute
and finally, 1.54/56*60*60 in 1 hour = 99mph Answer

Answer 6

1.54 miles in 56 secs = (1.54/56) miles per second

but there are 3600 seconds in an hour

therefore your speed is (1.54/56)*3600 = 99 miles per hour

calculation by calculator

Answer 7

1.54 miles / 56 seconds * 3600 seconds / 1 hour =
1.54(3600/56) = 99 mph.

Answer 8

99 mph

Answer 9

99 miles per hour

Answer 10

56s=56/3600 hrs
1.54mi/(56/3600)hrs= 99mi/hr
Hope no cops are around :)
