Answer: 2 13/16 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a car travels 5/16 of a mile in 1/4 of a minute. The number of miles that the car will travel in 2 1/4 minute will be calculated as:
= 5/16 ÷ ( 1/4 / 2 1/4)
= 5/16 × 2 1/4 / 1/4
= 5/16 × (9/4 ÷ 1/4)
= 5/16 × 9
= 45/16
= 2 13/16 miles
The car will travel 2 13/16 miles in 2 1/4 minutes.
