Answer:
Speed = 39. 0 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A car travels at 65 miles per hour. Going through construction, it travels at 3/5 this speed.
To find : Write this fraction as a decimal and find the speed.
Solution : We have given
A car travels in 1 hour = 65 miles .
Speed = \(\frac{distance}{time}\).
Speed = \(\frac{65}{1}\)
Speed = 65 miles per hour .
According to question :
It travel \(\frac{3}{5}\) of the speed.
To convert fraction in to decimal .
\(\frac{3}{5}\) = 0.6
So, it travel 0.6 of speed .
Speed = 0.6 * 65 .
Speed = 39. 0 miles per hour.
Therefore, Speed = 39. 0 miles per hour.
