Jeremiah is riding in a car that is traveling 60 miles per hour. At this rate, how many minutes will it take him to travel 20 miles?
I can use the formula distance = rate * time, or d = rt, to solve for time. I need to make sure the units match, so I will convert 60 miles per hour to miles per minute. I can do this by dividing by 60, since there are 60 minutes in an hour. So 60 miles per hour is equal to 1 mile per minute. Now I can plug in the values of d and r into the formula and solve for t. I get 20 = 1 * t, or t = 20. This means it will take Jeremiah 20 minutes to travel 20 miles.
