There are 60 minutes in 1 hour. We often say there are 60 minutes per hour. We express this relationship mathematically as: 60 min/hr

To convert miles/min to miles/hr, do the following:

1 mile/10 min * 60 min/1 hr = 60 / 10 = 6 miles/hr (average speed)

* Note: minutes cancel in the numerator & denominator).
