Use the conversion factor 1hour60minutes to move from minutes to hours.
6 611 miles per hour
Practice makes perfect
We know that Sammy ran 3 35 miles in 33 minutes. We want to determine his pace in miles per hour. We can do so in two steps.
Convert 33 minutes into hours.
Calculate Sammy's pace.
We can do these steps one at a time.
Convert Minutes Into Hours
We want to rewrite 33 minutes into hours. We can do so using a conversion factor 1hour60minutes to move from minutes to hours.
33minutes* 1hour/60minutes
Now let's simplify our expression.
Sammy ran 3 35 miles in 1120 hour, which can be also written as 0.55 hour.
Pace in Miles per Hour
We want to determine Sammy's pace in miles per hour. We can do so by dividing the distance Sammy run by the time of the run.
Pace=Distance (miles)/Time (hours)
Let's substitute 3 35 miles for the distance and 1120 hour for the time in our formula and simplify.
