How far do you travel in ten seconds at 30 mph in a car?

Answer 1

You would travel about 438 feet in 10 seconds at 30 miles per hour. To solve this, you first know that if you were traveling at 60 mph you would be going 1 mile per minute. So that means at half the speed you'd also go half the distance in the same time, so 0.5 mile per minute at 30 mph. Since there are 6 10-second intervals in one minute, you'd need to divide 0.5 by 6 to find the total length you'd travel in 10 seconds. That answer is 0.083 miles, which is equal to about 438 feet.
