Answer:

60 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

1 hour=60 miles

1 hour=60 miles

To solve this problem, we’ll utilize the “time-speed-distance” relationship which is expressed by the formula d = rt, i.e., distance d is equal to speed r multiplied by time t.

The given information in this problem gives us: the speed of r = 60 mi/hr traveled over a distance of 1 mile. We need to find how much time, t, it took to travel a distance d of 1 mile at a speed r = 60 mi/hr, that is:

d/r = t or

t = d/r

Substituting the known values for d and r into the above equation, we have:

t = 1 mi./(60 mi/hr)

t = (1/60) hr.

t = (1/60) hr. (1)

t = (1/60) hr. (60 min./1 hr.)

t = (1/60)(60/1) min.

t = 1 minute ( or 60 seconds) to travel 1 mile at a speed of 60 miles per hour.
