Calculate the distance traveled for a given speed measured in miles per hour for a set amount of time.
distance = speed * time
You are travelling 96 miles per hour (speed and time) for 1 hour and 30 minutes (time). Both speed/time and time have to be in the same units to make the multiplication. Changing the 1 hour and 30 minutes into an hour format makes sense. There are 60 minutes in one hour; to change one minute into hours, divide one by 60.
1 ÷ 60 = 0.01666666666666666666666666666667.
Multiply this amount by 30;
0.01666666666666666666666666666667 * 30 = 0.5
1 hour and 30 minutes = 1.5 hours
Multiply 96 miles per hour by 1.5 hours to get the distance;
96 * 1.5 = 144
At a speed of 96 miles per hour for one hour and 30 minutes, you will travel 144 miles.
one hour = 60 minutes one minute = 0.01666666666666666666666666666667 hours one mile (mi) = 1.609344 kilometres (km)
