1440 cars in 24 hours= 60 cars/hour.
Now divide by 60 to get 1 car per minute.
The answer is E.
No, you're not stupid. Just keep at it!

1440 divided by 24 hours = 60 cars per hour
60 divided by 60 minutes per hour = 1

convert hours to minutes....the word per indicates a division process....cars/minute so always divide by the value below the division line. cars divided by minutes will give cars per min.

i am assuming you mean 1440 cars per 24 hours.....
1440 cars per 24 hours divided by 24 hours per day = cars per hour
cars per hour divided by 60 minutes per hour = cars per minute.
1440/24/60=1

24 hours multiplied by sixty minutes in an hour and you get 1440
