How do you convert MPH into MPM when answering avation word problems? I know how to use the D=SxT formula but its confussing for mow to caculate how how many miles a plane is traveling in X amount of minutes when I'm only given the MPH. Please Help...Thank you(Itwasntme)
MPH = Miles per Hour
MPM = Miles Per Minute
There are 60 minutes in an hour.
So travelling n miles/hour is equivalent to travelling n miles/60 minutes.
Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 60 yields:
n/60 miles per 60/60 minute
= n/60 Miles per Minute
To calculate miles travelled by plane, simply multiply the speed by time as indicated by the formula you given ( d = s x t )
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. (Rofl)
